1786 New Jersey Copper. Maris 23-R, W-4945. Rarity-3. Narrow Shield, Curved Plow Beam, Blundered Six. Fine-15 (PCGS). 148.20 grains. An evenly worn and attractive example of this Blundered Six variety. The complexion is overall glossy, with a beautiful marbling of chocolate brown and darker coffee shades. The dies are drawn negligibly towards 7 o'clock on each face, though the motifs are unaffected. The central obverse is peppered with natural planchet striations which go largely unnoticed to the naked eye. Provenance: From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68. PCGS# 45424. NGC ID: AUKK. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
