- 1786 New Jersey Copper. Maris 16-L, W-4840. Rarity-2. Protruding Tongue. VF-20 BN (NGC). A handsome mid grade example of this popular and readily attributable variety. Both sides are originally toned in blended golden-brown and steel gray patina. The surfaces are a tad rough when observed with the aid of a loupe, but the in hand appearance is quite smooth with no blemishes of note save for several swirls of encrustation in the reverse field above and to the left of the shield. Boldly defined for the grade with all devices fully outlined and clear. Siboni Dis Stage 3, the most frequently encountered among extant examples. PCGS# 521268. NGC ID: AUKJ.
