- 1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 48-g, W-5275. Rarity-1. No Sprig Above Plow, Outlined Shield. AU-50 (PCGS). 140.58 grains. A well made piece, common for the die pairing, yet uncommon for the type. Well centered and sharp, the strike retains nearly full detail in the absence of all but light wear. The surfaces are satiny, smooth and tight with no detracting marks and only minor planchet flaws that are out of the way at the lower left reverse border. Warmly toned in autumn and olive-brown, as well, there is much to recommend this handsome piece to quality conscious type collectors as well as discerning New Jersey copper enthusiasts. The work of a skilled engraver, the reverse die of this variety features a distinctive shield with a "Batman" or "batwing" shape. Provenance: From the Norman G. Peters Collection. PCGS# 688361.
