1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 34-J, W-5115. Rarity-3. Sprig Above

1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 34-J, W-5115. Rarity-3. Sprig Above Plow, Deer Head. Overstruck on a Connecticut Copper. EF-40 (PCGS). SHI DS3. A handsome example with steely olive-brown surfaces that retain glints of faded mint color in the protected areas around the design elements. The strike is trivially off center to the lower right obverse and right reverse, but all design elements are present, and they are boldly to sharply defined. Traces of the undertype are quite bold within the upper right portion of the shield. Minor roughness in the planchet is most pronounced in the left obverse field and near the upper right reverse border, but there are no sizeable marks or otherwise singularly mentionable blemishes. Maris 34-J is an attractive die marriage, and the discovery of undertype details is a joy for any enthusiast, but finding one this nice would make any advanced collector's day.
