- High Grade Maris 14-J New Jersey Copper 1786 New Jersey Copper. Maris 14-J, W-4810. Rarity-1. Wide Shield. AU-50 (PCGS). 154.6 grains. Syd's notes describe this coin tersely as "no problems-really nice planchet," two primary reasons, coupled with the commonness of Maris 14-J, that this variety is more often than not included in colonial type collections. The surfaces are glossy and light brown, of a hue more likely to found on a choice large cent than a New Jersey copper. The strike is well centered on a flan that was large enough to accommodate only partial denticulation, not uncommon for the die combination. Struck from Die State 2 of the obverse, showing the hairline die crack through the last 3 digits of the date. Strong magnification reveals the many fine die marks around the date and legends that quickly fade with even the slightest of circulation and are the marks of a high grade coin. This choice and pleasant example entered Syd's collection in the early days of his active colonial coin collecting. PCGS# 45423. NGC ID: 2B4F. Provenance: From the Syd Martin Collection. Purchased privately from Gale, December 18, 1992.
