1787 Nova Eborac Copper. W-5760. Rarity-3. Medium Bust, Seated Figure

1787 Nova Eborac Copper. W-5760. Rarity-3. Medium Bust, Seated Figure Right. EF-40 (PCGS). 111.9 grains. Glossy faded and chocolate brown form a nice visual contrast between the recesses and devices. Ever so slightly granular up close and with a couple of microscopic scratches on the effigy's face, but the coin is glossy and very attractive overall. Centered slightly right on the obverse, and virtually perfect on the reverse in this respect. One tiny natural clip is noted over the letter B in EBORAC, slightly cutting the top of the B. A prominent rim break on the reverse right of the seated figure's feet, as usual, seen here in the later state as a fully developed cud. Struck from the same obverse die used on the Medium Bust variety offered above, this is the scarcer of the two. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. Earlier ex Anthony Terranova, 2001, to the following; our sale of the Twin Leaf Collection of Connecticut & Massachusetts Coppers, Spring 2019 Baltimore Auction, March, lot 8002. PCGS# 475.
