- 1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 63-q, W-5365. Rarity-3. Large Planchet. AU-53 (PCGS). 152.4 grains. 29.5 mm. A superb example from the early and unbroken state of the reverse die, Die State 1. Glossy medium brown with golden tan around some design elements, most prominent on the reverse. Obverse aligned to 6:00, reverse to 10:00, both sides well struck and showing most of their peripheral denticulation. The horsehead is particularly well defined for the variety. Aside from some marks that remain from the pre-striking texture of the planchet, just a small rim bruise on the reverse below 9:00 is worth noting. This is a really outstanding specimen, and its quality should not be lost in the shadow of the previous lot. This piece is higher grade than any Large Planchet New Jersey in our E Pluribus Unum Collection offering. As a die state, the unbroken reverse seems significantly rarer than later states and we doubt there are many better ones. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex American Heritage Minting (William Paul), October 2007. PCGS# 767841. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
