- Choice 1787 Maris 58-n The Bareford Coin 1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 58-n, W-5320. Rarity-4. Camel Head--Overstruck on a 1788 Connecticut Copper, Miller 14.1-L.2--VF-35 (PCGS). 107.4 grains. 27.8 mm. Overstruck on a 1788 Connecticut copper, Miller 14.1-L.2, as determined by Syd. Choice light brown with hard, glossy surfaces. Smooth and appealing, well struck from the early and unbroken state of the dies, Die State 1, thus maximizing visible detail. The obverse is aligned slightly left of 6:00, with a nice arc of denticles above the top of that side. The reverse shows denticles around nearly the entire circumference but the very top. Relatively little evidence of undertype is visible on the obverse, though the softness at the obverse periphery in the upper right is indicative of it. On the reverse, UNUM is lost to a muddling of New Jersey and Connecticut legends, with the positioning of ET in that region enough to nail down the reverse of the host coin. Some vestiges of the Connecticut reverse device are seen within the shield, creating a low spot where the patina is a little thin. The overall visual appeal is splendid for this very scarce variety. All the coins in the SHI Census are EF, led by the Maris-Garrett-Garrett coin. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection.
