- 1787 New Jersey copper. Maris 48-g. Rarity-1. Outlined Shield. AU-53 (PCGS). 156.4 grains. Highly glossy and very sharp, frosty light brown with hints of muted red clinging to devices. Barely worn, but showing widely scattered laminations across both sides. Most are shallow and individually trivial, though more substantial ones are present at the obverse rim near 8:00 and atop RI of PLURIBUS on the reverse. A thin diagonal scratch is noted between NO and the back of the mane in the lower left obverse field. Die state 3, but fairly early, with the diagonal shield crack subtle and the crack through the right side of the M of UNUM particularly delicate between that letter and the shield border. The diagonal shield crack is barely visible through the upper horizontal shield stripes (though it is there). You could make an argument that this die state is really something like a 2.5. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection of New Jersey Coppers. Earlier, from American Numismatic Rarities’ sale of the Glode M. Requa Collection, September 2006, lot 53. PCGS# 688361and 503.
