Lot Description

1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 48-g, W-5275. Rarity-1. Outlined Shield. AU-55 (PCGS). Wisps of olive-gray to dominant reddish-copper patina, a light spot on the reverse at the letters UM in UNUM is noted. There is a little light build up in the protected areas around and among some of the design elements, but with no significant marks the surfaces are pleasingly smooth in hand. Hard, tight and satiny in texture, bold to sharp striking detail further enhances the appeal of this handsome New Jersey copper for type purposes. Die State 1. PCGS# 503. NGC ID: 2B4K.
