Lot Description

1786 New Jersey Copper. Maris 12-G, W-4790. URS-7. Date Under Plow, No Coulter. AG-3 (PCGS). Maris 12-G is the more readily obtainable of the No Coulter New Jersey copper varieties, although the inclusion of this variety (No Coulter) in the <em>Guide Book </em>places extreme type collector pressure on extant examples. The present piece is heavily worn with overall rough, dark-brown surfaces. Some devices have been lost to circulation, including most of the date, but enough of the design is discernible to show the No Coulter feature clearly. The entire plow, in fact, is rather boldly outlined, as is the reverse shield.
