- 1786 New Jersey Copper. Maris 21-P, W-4920. Rarity-5. Narrow Shield, Curved Plow Beam. Fine-12 (PCGS). 157.9 grains. A modest but pleasing example of this scarcity, the offered coin features medium brown, mostly smooth surfaces on both obverse and reverse. The obverse is centered toward the 6 o'clock position, the reverse towards the 12 o'clock position, bringing into view the serrated dentils opposite those positions on either side. Though Syd did not record the source of this 21-P, a series of fresh copper scuffs, chiefly on the obverse, indicate that he may have been rescued this coin from a gathering of loose coins that imparted those marks. PCGS# 767882 Provenance: From the Syd Martin Collection.
