- 1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 52-i, W-5280. Rarity-3. Outlined Shield. EF-45 (PCGS). Glossy, light chocolate brown surfaces are immediately attractive, the surfaces are high quality with just a few trivial natural planchet flakes noted in obverse fields. Both sides are well centered on a flan not large enough to accommodate all the denticulation that was in the dies. The reverse is very closely double struck, with the secondary impression nearly perfectly overlapping the primary, perhaps indicating that the reverse die was loose to bounce around and create this minor error. The shield is especially bold on the reverse, the intricate die lines seen on high grade colonials still visible in the furrows between the vertical shield stripes. Though the Maris 52-i die marriage is relatively common, even in high grade, the gorgeous PCGS EF-45+ example we sold in the Shaw Collection in March 2017 brought $4,230 in active bidding. This superb coin is not far off in quality. PCGS# 506. NGC ID: 2B4N. Provenance: From the Syd Martin Collection. Purchased privately from Tim Barker, January 15, 1995.
