- 1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 64-t, W-5380. Rarity-1. Large Planchet. EF-40 (PCGS). 139.2 grains. Dark olive brown and glossy, lighter tan on the high points, boldly struck enough to bring out all the design features and eliminate all of the original planchet surface everywhere but at central reverse. A minuscule rim clip at the 9 o’clock position of the obverse. A pleasing New Jersey copper acquired late in Robert’s collecting career. Provenance: From the Robert M. Martin Collection. Purchased from Robert Wasitis via eBay, May 13, 2016. PCGS #506 and #767852.
