- 1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 28-L, W-5065. Rarity-3. Disappearing Knobs. VF-20 (PCGS).
Lovely burnt-orange in color with areas of darker tobacco patina shadowing the devices. A few natural planchet striations are confined to the peripheries, and the complexion is pleasantly glossy in-hand. Uniformly bold and absolutely original. An example of Die State 2, the knobs at the ends of the plow handles are just barely perceptible. The precise cause of this weakening has puzzled specialist, who have suggested lapping or a filled die, though a confident conclusion is yet to be reached.
Provenance: From the Collection of Larry L. Terrell. Earlier ex Bowers and Merena, March 1995, privately.
PCGS# 503. NGC ID: 2B4K.
