1786 NJ 1/2P Maris 12-I, Shaggy Mane, BN VF30BN 认证号37290848, PCGS号767872

From the Earlycoppercoins PCGS Registry Set. From the Stacks Bowers sale of the E Pluribus Unum Collection, sold on 11/15/29 as lot #6017, and described as: “1786 New Jersey copper. Maris 12-I. Rarity-5. No Coulter. VF-30 (PCGS). 152.7 grains. The last of the No Coulters, this marriage represents the only use of reverse I, whose long pointed shield is almost always seen with little to no central definition. This example is no different, even though it’s finer than most, with glossy medium brown surfaces and good eye appeal. The base of the horsehead is soft, as seen in the later stages of the previous die marriage, Maris 12-G. The date is mostly present, but soft at the bases of the numerals, as always seen on this variety. The central shield shows vertically oriented laminations that outlived striking pressure that was insufficient to efface them; another light lamination is seen above E of E PLURIBUS UNUM. Some light hairlines are present on the shield, noted with scrutiny along with some faint old scratches under PLU. Overall this is a far finer example from this elusive marriage than usually encountered. From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection of New Jersey Coppers.” Looking at the new SHI NJ condition census released in 2024, this example is CC#7 for the variety and is shown on the bottom of page 45. This example sold for $5,520 in the 2019 EPU auction, and I purchased this coin from RUATWINCOIN on 01/06/25. PCGS certification# 767872.30/37290848 with “No Coulter, Maris 12-I” listed on the PCGS label.
