1787 NJ 1/2P Batman Shield, Maris 48-g, BN MS (PCGS#688361)

November 2019 Baltimore Colonial Coins and Americana Auction

Description du lot: 1787 New Jersey copper. Maris 48-g. Rarity-1. Outlined Shield. Double Struck. VF-20 (PCGS). 154.1 grains. A very impressive error coin, struck once normally and again roughly 30% off-center to 3:00. NOVA is fully doubled at the left side of the obverse, and the reverse’s overlapping shields are eye-catching and distinctive. Glossy light brown with excellent eye appeal, a few trivial laminations near the visible plow, some easily missed old pinscratches in the lower left quadrant of the reverse. This is one of the more major double strikes we’ve encountered from this die marriage. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection of New Jersey Coppers. PCGS# 688361and 503.
