Lot Description

1787 New Jersey copper. Maris 52-i. Rarity-3. Outlined Shield. EF-45 (PCGS). 145.0 grains. Glossy medium brown and olive with a few splashes of deep mahogany on the obverse. Great surface quality, a really pretty coin. The reverse is significant double struck, nearly on center, making the denticulated border and the peripheral legend an interesting blur. The double striking appears to have brought the horsehead into higher and more rounded relief, offering a pleasing effect. A very attractive and worthwhile specimen of this die pair. Die State 1, perfect dies. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection of New Jersey Coppers. PCGS# 766270and 506. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
