- Well Preserved 1786 Maris 12-G 1786 New Jersey Copper. Maris 12-G, W-4790. Rarity-4. Date Under Plow, No Coulter, Shaggy Mane. VF-25 (PCGS). 142.3 grains. Struck medal turn as always for the Maris number. This is a thoroughly pleasing light to medium brown example of one of the few No Coulter varieties that is not a significant rarity. As such this is the die combination that most often is included in collections of colonials by Red Book type. Well centered on a broad flan, the subtle weakness to the tops of the letters in the obverse legends are due more to strike than to wear or the uniform granularity on both sides. Horse's mane, eye, ears and snout are perfectly sharp, while the lower left corner of horse head and central shield are weakly struck, revealing some of the original planchet surface in those areas, as is the case on every die combination in the No Coulter type. A small curved planchet clip at the 12:30 clock position serves to identify this specimen for future provenance research. PCGS# 494. NGC ID: 2B4E. Provenance: From the Syd Martin Collection. Purchased privately from Jonathon's Coins, Inglewood, CA, May 8, 2013.
