Losbeschreibung

1788 New Jersey Copper. Maris 77-dd (DS3), i.e. 78-dd, W-5535. Rarity-2. Running Fox Before Legend. VG-10 (PCGS). 148.6 grains. 28.2 mm. Reverse aligned slightly counterclockwise from proper coin turn. The die state formerly listed as Maris 78-dd. A beautiful example for the grade, with choice chocolate brown color and hard, even surfaces. A little natural fissure flaw is seen below the date, but there are precious few other flaws. The date and legends are full. This is the most common die state for this Maris number, after some kind of foreign body ended up in the coining chamber, resulting in damage to both dies. The SHI Census of this state consists entirely of EF coins. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from McCawley and Grellman's 1997 C4 Convention Sale, November 1997, lot 382; Dave Wnuck, June 2002. PCGS# 766251. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
