- 1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 62-q, W-5350. Rarity-3. Large Planchet, Hidden Initials. Fine-12 (PCGS). 133.56 grains. An attractive piece toned in deep walnut hues. The complexion is glossy in-hand, with a slightly granular patina visible under magnification. Soft at center, as is typical for the variety, but otherwise bold across each side. The dies are nicely centered, though the reverse is rotated perhaps 30 degrees clockwise relative to coin-turn. This popular Hidden Initials obverse die, Maris 62, reveals the well concealed "signature" WM within the sprigs beneath the horse. These initials stand for Walter Mould, who operated the so-called Morristown Mint in New Jersey during 1787 and 1788. Provenance: From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68. PCGS# 521277. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
