Description
1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 33-U, W-5110. Rarity-4. No Sprig Above Plow, Outlined Shield. EF-45 (PCGS).
Attractive rose-brown surfaces with a few swirls of brick-red on both sides. Close inspection with a loupe reveals trivial granularity and minor pitting, although in the absence of sizeable marks the surfaces present as quite smooth in hand. The right borders on both sides are devoid of denticulation, but the strike is well executed otherwise with all major design elements sharp. It would be a great challenge to secure a sharper example of Maris 33-U than this and, indeed, the PCGS-certified grade qualifies it as Condition Census per the listing in the Siboni-Howes-Ish reference (AU through VF+). A find for the advanced New Jersey copper enthusiast.
PCGS# 506. NGC ID: 2B4N.
From Heritage's CSNS Signature Auction of April 2021, lot 3087.
