Lot Description

1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 28-L, W-5065. Rarity-3. Outlined Shield. VF-25 (PCGS). 135.6 grains. 27.7 mm. Attractive medium brown and deep olive over glossy surfaces. Rim somewhat flawed, as made, with a curved clip at 8:00 on the obverse and a more subtle flaw above IB on the reverse. Nicely centered, all design elements clear and present. A notably problem free coin for the grade. Die State 2, with the knobs on the plowhandles fading. A good looking example from these dies. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Rich Nadeau, December 1994. PCGS# 767896. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
