1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 48-g, W-5275. Rarity-1. No Sprig Above

1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 48-g, W-5275. Rarity-1. No Sprig Above Plow, Batman Shield. AU-53 (PCGS). SHI DS1. Struck from the usually seen clashed state of the obverse die, with clear outline of the shield visible at a tilt and framing the horse's head; there is no trace of a break on the reverse. A really lovely example of both the type and Maris number, both sides are evenly toned in walnut brown with a tinge of pale olive. Surfaces are microgranular, planchet with a few light fissures at right obverse and lower right reverse border, faint scrape in the field before the curve of the horse's chest. No sizeable flan flaws or marks are present, however, and the in-hand appearance is smooth and inviting. Nicely centered with universally bold to sharp detail throughout the design. Though Maris 48-g is readily available in high grades, many in certified AU-50/53 are not as visually appealing as this specimen. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. PCGS# 503. NGC ID: AUL8. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
