- 1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 63-r, W-5370. Rarity-5-. Large Planchet. Fine-12 (PCGS). 147.1 grains. 30.3 mm. A really nice coin for the assigned grade, with hard and glossy medium chocolate brown surfaces mottled with deep olive. Both sides show more denticles at right than left, but the centering is pretty good and both sides show strong detail for the grade. Some scattered minor marks are seen, including a rim bruise under the date, a vertical nick on C of CAESAREA, and a vertical hit on the horsehead behind the eye. The dies are in their usually seen die state. This is a rare variety, even though it combines dies used in combinations that are widely available. A single standout AU is known, and the SHI Census includes five other coins whose grades range from EF+ to VF. In our Dr. Gordon Shaw Collection sale of March 2017, we sold the Maris-Garrett specimen, graded VF-20 and slightly granular, for $3,995. The highest graded example we've sold since Ford (which was graded Fine but was better) was the PCGS VF-30 in our E Pluribus Unum Collection sale. This one is pretty nice as this variety goes, especially considering where Syd found it. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from eBay, September 2000. PCGS# 767843.
