1787 NJ 1/2P Maris 43-d, Bulbous Nose, BN AU55BN 认证号48717688, PCGS号763359

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.
