1786 NJ 1/2P Maris 15-T, Leaning Head, BN MS (PCGS#766262)

November 2019 Baltimore Colonial Coins and Americana Auction

详细说明: 1786 New Jersey copper. Maris 15-T. Rarity-3. Straight Plow Beam. AU-53 (PCGS). 149.0 grains. Glossy light brown with a bit of remaining frost and some hints of red on the reverse. Sharp and appealing with broad denticles framing the base of the obverse and extending from 8:00 to 4:00 around the reverse. The devices are sharp and barely worn, and the raised file marks on the obverse die between the head and VA of NOVA are crisp. The shield likewise shows full internal details. A bit of green verdigris is seen between UR of PLURIBUS and another area is present above the star that precedes UNUM. A striated lamination jogs across the lower half of the shield from center to upper right. Aside from a couple inconsequential scratches that cross below the plow handles at the denticles, no significant marks are present. Die State 2 with the light crack from the star before E to the lower left of the shield, but the spur from the upper left serif of M in UNUM has formed; it would become the die crack that defines Die State 3. A good looking example. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection of New Jersey Coppers. PCGS# 766262and 45423. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
