- 1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 58-n, W-5320. Rarity-4. Camel Head--Overstruck on a Connecticut Copper. EF-45 (PCGS). 134.0 grains. An exceptional specimen of this scarcer Camel Head. Apparently struck over a Connecticut copper, with the sprig hand from the reverse of the Connecticut visible within the shield details beneath UM of UNUM. Mostly smooth and glossy dark olive, with a high relief horsehead showing superb detail. Some light surface roughness and discoloration around NOVA suggests the removal of some encrustation there, along with an area left of the shield. The centering is excellent on both sides, and the aesthetic appeal is superb. This piece at least threatens the SHI census, which lists seven coins ranging from EF+ to EF-. A few others could probably be added, including two of the coins in our 2019 E Pluribus Unum sale. This piece is close behind. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection. PCGS# 763347.
