Lot Description

1787 New Jersey copper. Maris 38-Y. Rarity-3. Outlined Shield, Small Head. VF-35 (PCGS). 144.8 grains. Nice glossy medium brown with choice surfaces. A handsome example for the grade, well centered and nicely detailed. An old dull mark behind the horsehead and a light rim bruise over PL of PLURIBUS are the only trivial flaws worth mentioning. The center of the shield has begun to lose some definition, and multiple clash marks are seen. The rim below the shield has begun to crumble. Lightly double struck on the reverse. A good looking piece. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection of New Jersey Coppers. PCGS# 766248and 506. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
