From the Norman G. Peters collection, sold by Stacks on 11/22/21, where this coin was lot #2072 and described as: "1786 New Jersey 1/2p. Maris 12-G, W-4790. Rarity-4. Date Under Plow, No Coulter, Shaggy Mane. Fine-15 (PCGS). 136.58 grains. Handsome golden-brown patina blankets satiny, generally smooth-looking surfaces. Certainly a superior example for the assigned grade, planchet voids are small in size and singularly inconspicuous, while the only readily evident marks are minor and confined to the area around the horse's snout. Hard and tight, as well, with bold Fine detail apart from isolated softness in the center of the obverse as well as at the upper right obverse and upper left reverse borders. The swelling to the shield is typical of Reverse G, while the bedraggled mane on the horse's head is readily evident and explains this variety's popular nickname. An attractive and highly collectible example of the die pairing or major type. Provenance: From the Norman G. Peters Collection." CVM to Shawn A. Yancey on 09/03/22.
From the Earlycoppercoins PCGS Registry Set. Prior from the Heritage sale of the Donald G. Partrick collection, sold as lot #15039 on 03/17/21, where it was described as: “1786 New Jersey Copper, AU50. Maris 16-L Protruding Tongue Variety. 1786 New Jersey Copper, Protruding Tongue, Maris 16-L, W-4840, R.2, AU50 NGC. A handsome example of the so-called "Protruding Tongue" variety, named after the die break visibly extending from the horse's mouth to the R of CAESAREA. The coin is well-struck, with good definition in the horse's mane and a carefully rendered eye. Central details are a little soft, as seen in the obverse scroll and the reverse shield. The coin's patina is a rich honey brown, though the obverse has darker streaks running diagonally across the central devices. While this piece does not exhibit the central die failures that mark the final die state, the distinctive rim cud between the RE of the obverse legend is boldly distinct. The Maris 16 horse head is charming, if a little unusual, with the hair on top resembling a person's hair more than a horse's mane, and brushed forward further to the right of the eye than is normally seen. Describing the obverse die in his 1881 classic A Historical Sketch of the Coins of New Jersey, Maris correctly noted that the scroll beneath the horse is "prolonged toward the left, as in no other instance." The L reverse was used in seven different die combinations and is a biennial die, being used with some 1787-dated obverses. The shield is placed too far to the left in the die, making it overly to the right on the coin--the visual effect of which is emphasized on this example by its being struck somewhat off-center toward 3 o'clock. The reverse remains in an early die state, without the die break extending from the E to the rim. On the whole, the 16-L is struck from well-produced dies, and this is a solid example of the popular Guide Book variety. Listed on page 73 of the 2021 Guide Book. Ex: Stack's (3/1997); Donald G. Partrick.” The coin was purchased from the Partrick sale by CVM on 03/17/21 for $1,680, and I purchased the coin from CVM on 10/27/23 at the Nashville coin show for a considerably higher price. This is the nicest example that I have seen in person, and it has lustrous semi-reflective surfaces with little trace of wear. The horse’s hair is particularly well-defined, and the coin is well-struck, well-centered, and virtually mark-free. That combined with perfect peanut butter tan brown color definitely makes this a PLUS coin. The only detraction are those carbon streaks on the obverse, and frankly, they appear to be ON the surface and not IN the surface, and I suspect they could be easily removed by a conservation service. Regardless, this is a premium example and certainly one that I do not expect to be able to upgrade. Sold as NGC AU50 #5746974-004 in the Partrick collection; now PCGS AU50 #766263.50/48717687 Protruding Tongue Maris 16-L.
1787 New Jersey 1/2p, M48-g, W5275, R1. This coin has been authenticated and graded by PCGS as EF45, and CAC-certified as CHOICE for the assigned grade! You bet, and it's CAC-stickered because this is an AU trapped in an EF holder! Gorgeous color, surfaces, and eye appeal with some mint luster that screams for a higher grade. A very common variety, but also the most pronounced "Outlined Shield" variety for the Redbook type, so this is such an incredible example to fill that space in a registry set. Purchased from John Agre 07/28/22.

From the Earlycoppercoins PCGS Registry Set. 1787 New Jersey copper 1/2p M43-d, W5225, Small Planchet Plain Shield, R1. This coin has been authenticated and grade by PCGS as AU55, and it is certainly CHOICE! Soft medium brown fields overflow with abundant mint luster on both sides. Almost no trace of wear, and no evidence of circulation marks. As an added bonus, the coin is cool mint error that has been struck at least three times. The multiple strikes are most obvious on the obverse, where you can see a double or triple slight offset on the entire design, plus you can make out an additional set of legends boldly visible above CAESAREA. This is a very common Maris variety as far as New Jersey's go, but the choice color and surfaces along with the bold mint error certainly make this a premium example. Purchased in NGC AU55 holder and now PCGS AU55 #763359.55/48717688 Maris 43-d Bulbous Nose.
From the 08/16/23 Stacks sale of the E Pluribus Unum Collection Part 4, where this coin was lot #3100 and described as: “1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 62-q, W-5350. Rarity-3. Large Planchet, Hidden WM. EF-40 (PCGS). 140.8 grains. An exceptionally wholesome example of this variety or type, perfect for a quality conscious collection. Ideal even light brown with hard, smooth surfaces. A bit of harmless verdigris clings to some design elements, but both sides are free of any kind of mark or defect otherwise. Die State 2 on the obverse, Die State 1 on the reverse, with no central loss of detail. This is a really exquisite example for the grade. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection.” PCGS #767840.40/47842335 with “Hidden WM In Sprig, Maris 62-q” listed on the label. CHOICE!
From the 08/16/23 Stacks sale of the E Pluribus Unum Collection Part 4, where this coin was lot #3059 and described as: “1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 34-J, W-5115. Rarity-3. Deer Head--Overstruck on a Connecticut Copper. VF-35 (PCGS). 146.9 grains. Another handsome overstruck late die state 34-J, with choice chocolate brown color and outstanding smooth surfaces. The obverse is ideally centered, and the reverse is broad and pleasing as well. Substantial Connecticut undertype is visible on the reverse, particularly CONNEC at the lower left of the shield. Aside from two short scratches on the lower portion of the horsehead, this is a pretty much perfect example of this popular variety. Die State 4. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection.” PCGS #763331.35/47842547, with "Deer Head, Maris 34-J" and "Struck Over Connecticut" both on the label.
From the 08/16/23 Stacks sale of the E Pluribus Unum Collection Part 4, where this coin was lot #3086 and described as: “1788 New Jersey Copper. Maris 50-f, W-5475. Rarity-3. Head Left. VF-25 (PCGS). 153.5 grains. Another lovely Maris 50-f fit for an advanced collection. Nice chocolate brown with good gloss and eye appeal. The reverse is a bit granular, but the eye appeal remains superb. The left obverse rim is a bit flat and shows some abrasions, as do some areas of the reverse rim as well. Aside from some scattered old pinscratches, toned over and trivial, this piece has no significant problems. Early Die State 2, with the bulge on the obverse just beginning and only a very tiny crack between EA of CAESAREA. This die state is unusually early. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection.” PCGS #766268.25/47842321 with “Head Left, Maris 50-f” listed on the PCGS label. This coin realized $2,640 in that auction to CVM, and I purchased this beauty from Chris at a much higher price. My asking price on my website and eBay is $4,500.
