- 1786 New Jersey Copper. Maris 15-T, W-4825. Rarity-3. Leaning Head. EF-45 (PCGS). 140.5 grains. An exceptionally sharp example with provenance stretching back to the collections of Hillyer Rider and John J. Ford, Jr. Rich chocolate brown with subtle golden accents across the high points. The complexion is glossy and smooth, with a natural planchet striation noted at the central obverse. The crack through EA of CAESAREA now extends through the plough beam, and the reverse now shows a break through the M of UNUM to the shield, equivalent to Die State 3. Similar in sharpness to the Craige specimen called EF-40 in our January 2013 sale, but with superior definition to the reverse. A microscopic hairline is visible at the horse's nose though this fails to draw the naked eye. Provenance: From the Collection of Larry L. Terrell. Earlier ex Hillyer Ryder; F.C.C. Boyd; John J. Ford, Jr.; our (Bowers and Merena's) Frontenac Sale of November 1991, lot 125; unknown intermediaries; Stack's, May 1996, privately. PCGS# 496. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
