- 1787 New Jersey copper. Maris 47-e. Rarity-6-. Outlined Shield. Fine-12 (PCGS). 143.6 grains. Choice chocolate brown with smooth, glossy surfaces. Perfectly centered and problem free for the grade, with just a little circle of hairlines on the shield that are visible only in the right light. Die State 2, with heavy bulging at central obverse. This distinctively pretty piece does not appear to have been published on John Griffee’s listing of Maris 47-e in the January 1991 issue of Penny-Wise. The SHI Condition Census includes an unverified AU in the Anton Collection and a VF+ coin in the NJHS in the top two spots, three VFs, three more graded VF-, and an honorary ninth place to the VG Maris plate coin. There appear to be several known in the Fine range, though most have one sort of problem or other. This piece probably misses the Condition Census, but it would be tough to find a prettier example in any grade to represent this underappreciated rarity. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection of New Jersey Coppers. PCGS# 767831and 506. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
