Losbeschreibung

1787 New Jersey copper. Maris 55-m. Rarity-4. U over S. Counterstamped HALL. F-15 (PCGS). 145.4 grains. Counterstamped HALL in the right obverse field. Finely granular dark mahogany with lighter brown devices. Some old scratches on the obverse, a bit of old scale above the plow. A scattering of green pits on the reverse is densest to the lower left of the shield. The countermark is very boldly impressed in a vertical alignment right of the horsehead. The texture of the mark suggests a producer of ferrous hardware; this is not the delicate mark of a silversmith, tinsmith, or brazier. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection of New Jersey Coppers. PCGS# 763315and 45425. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
