- Choice Quality Maris 48-g New Jersey Copper 1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 48-g, W-5275. Rarity-1. Outlined Shield. AU-55+ (PCGS). 146.6 grains. Superb medium olive-brown surfaces glow with the rich gloss that is the mark of high grade colonial copper. Hints of subtle coppery red in the recesses of the reverse legends are seen where the original mint color was last to fade. Both sides are centered toward the left, obscuring the dentils along that side but bringing the saw tooth dentils into full view along the right rims. Sharp and well struck, as expected of the high production standard seen on the Maris 48-g combination, the surfaces exhibit the most minor of as-made planchet striations as usually encountered with this variety. Numerous high grade examples of 48-g exist, though they are in constant demand from die variety and type coin enthusiasts alike. PCGS# 503. NGC ID: 2B4K. Provenance: From the Syd Martin Collection. Earlier Ex our (Stack's) sale of September 2005, lot 293; Lawrence R. Stack Collection.
