1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 63-q, W-5365. Rarity-3. Large Planchet, Plain Shield. EF-45+ (PCGS). This hard and satiny rose-brown Connecticut copper has considerable gloss on both sides. Well centered in strike, although there is scant denticulation along the lower obverse border. Minimal wear has left plenty of bold to sharp definition throughout the design. A few small and moderate-size marks are scattered about the central obverse, near the lower right border on the same side, and around the reverse periphery. There is a shallow planchet depression on the reverse over the top of the shield. This relatively available variety is known for its superior die engraving and high quality planchet stock, making a well preserved survivor such as this attractive for inclusion in a type set of colonial and early American coinage. Die Stage 2. PCGS# 509. NGC ID: 25XG. Provenance: From the LJV Philadelphia Collection. Earlier from Pine Tree Auctions' FUN Sale of January 1978, lot 42. Lot tag included.
