- Elusive and Pleasing Maris 51-g 1788 New Jersey copper. Maris 51-g. Rarity-6-. Head Left. VF-25 (PCGS). 148.0 grains. The rarest of the three Head Left varieties, here offered in very pleasing grade. Glossy light brown with mostly smooth surfaces and very nice aesthetic appeal. The date is soft but 788 is complete, and this piece shows the usual left-shifted alignment of the obverse. The legend is likewise soft atop the reverse, as usual, but the shield shows good definition for the grade. Scattered minor laminations and verdigris are present on both sides, none serious though we note one such flaw above O of PLURIBUS. No significant post-striking defects are seen. The obverse shows the usually-found diagonal bisector crack from the second A of CAESAREA to the end of the plow bar, Die State 2. This isn’t quite Condition Census caliber, but it most certainly more pleasing than this scarce variety usually comes. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection of New Jersey Coppers. PCGS# 767835and 527. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
