May 2019 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

Losbeschreibung: 1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 6-D, W-5050. Rarity-2. Double Coulter. VF-30 (PCGS). Tinges of golden iridescence across the highpoints accent the overall mocha-brown patina. There is a trivial granularity apparent under scrutiny but the complexion is left well-composed in-hand. A small break has formed a tail from the lower left side of the shield as seen in Die State 1, which is called "rare" for this marriage by the authors of New Jersey State Coppers. The swelling at the central obverse is typical and the balance of the devices remain nicely defined. Provenance: From the Collection of Larry L. Terrell. Earlier ex Early American Numismatics' sale of March 1995, lot 136. PCGS# 506. NGC ID: 2B4N. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
