- 1788 New Jersey Copper. Maris 77-dd (DS3), i.e. 78-dd, W-5535. Rarity-2. Head Right, Running Fox Before Legend. Fine-12 (PCGS). 129.47 grains. A generally autumn-brown example with intermingled olive-russet highlights that are most pronounced in the protected areas around the design elements. Roughness in the planchet within and below the shield is as made, a few speckles of light verdigris on the obverse noted, but the surfaces otherwise free of mentionable blemishes. The central obverse break is crisp and bold, while the angular reverse break is also in full form. While delisted as "Maris 78-dd" in favor of a more accurate description as the late die state of Maris 77-dd, most collectors will still want to own this former variety. The running fox is crisp here, making this an equally worthy type coin. Provenance: From the Norman G. Peters Collection. PCGS# 766251. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
