Lot Description

1788 New Jersey Copper. Maris 50-f, W-5475. Rarity-3. Horse's Head Left. Good-4 (PCGS). Otherwise dominant reddish-brown surfaces reveal deeper charcoal patina throughout much of the obverse field. Wear is heaviest over the right central obverse and along the lower left reverse border, other areas retaining suitably bold detail for the assigned grade that includes a full date. Microporous on the obverse, the reverse is smoother overall, yet with a few prominent pits scattered about. Scarce and challenging Guide Book variety of the 1788 New Jersey copper with the horse's head facing left. PCGS# 527. NGC ID: 2B53. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
