- 1788 New Jersey Copper. Maris 50-f, W-5475. Rarity-3. Head Left. VG-10 (PCGS). A desirable Head Left example toned in dark espresso color though the fields and lighter olive-brown on the high points. The glossy complexion gives way to areas of porosity under a glass, though the eye appeal is pleasing for the issue. The swelling of Siboni Die State 3 has caused some weakness to the right obverse, and a thin crack connects the letters EA in CASAREA. The legends are slightly obscured by roughness, but the focal elements remain bold at this grade level. An appealing representative of the die pair and design type. Called "a work of art" by the authors of the Siboni-Howes-Ish reference on New Jersey coppers, the Maris 50-f is a scarce variety but is still the most common of the three Head Left marriages. It is typically subject to overwhelming demand from type collectors and specialist. Provenance: From Early American Numismatics' sale of December 1994, lot 795; our sale of the Collection of Larry L. Terrell, May 2019 Baltimore Auction, lot 3227. PCGS# 527. NGC ID: 2B53. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
