- Pleasing 1787 Nova Eborac Large Head 1787 Nova Eborac Copper. W-5750, Breen-985. Rarity-5+. Large Head. VF-35 (PCGS). 146.7 grains. An unusually pleasing example of a rare variety that seems to come ugly more often than not. Even dark olive with lighter brown high points. The surfaces show even sedate granularity and good gloss. The centering is ideal on both sides, and the design elements are all nicely detailed. A very subtle rim bruise is noted over ET on the reverse, and a single dull mark is seen to the upper right of the reverse shield. This is easily the finest we've offered since 2013, when we sold the smoother but lower grade Ted Craige coin (PCGS VF-20 at $3,055). We've never offered a certified example graded better than this one. The best of these is the Norweb-Partrick example, one of two Mint State pieces certified by PCGS. The Ford AU brought $21,850 in 2004. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex the Lawrence R. Stack Collection, November 2006.
