1787 NJ 1/2P Pony Head, Maris 38-c, BN MS (PCGS#766275)

Winter 2022 U.S. Coins Auction

Losbeschreibung: 1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 38-c, W-5190. Rarity-3. No Sprig Above Plow, Small Head, Outlined Shield--Double Struck--EF-40 BN (NGC). An attractive medium brown example with glints of olive-gray further confirming the coin's originality. The surfaces are satiny and predominantly smooth with appreciable gloss, and they present very well despite having seen light circulation. There are no marks of consequence, in fact, and a few trivial planchet fissures are largely out of the way at the peripheries. Struck off center to the upper left obverse, lower left reverse, affecting some of the design elements in those areas. The double strike, which is not mentioned on the NGC insert, is minor and most readily evident at the letters in the word CAESAREA. Provenance: Ex Catherine Bullowa; Jon Hanson, March 1, 1973; Donald G. Partrick; Heritage's sale of the Donald G. Partrick Collection, March 2021, lot 15341. Partrick envelope with attribution and provenance notes included. PCGS# 766275. NGC ID: AUL8. Click here for certification details from NGC. Additional image by NGC Photo Vision.
