Choice Mint State 1787 Nova Eborac Copper 1787 Nova Eborac Copper. W-5755, Breen-986. Rarity-3. Medium Bust, Seated Figure Left. MS-63 BN (PCGS). 135.5 grains. Another choice example of this popular issue. Frosty medium brown with choice surfaces and some remaining mint color, particular around RAC on the obverse and embracing the central reverse device. A curved mint clip at the lower right obverse / upper right reverse manages not to affect any design elements. The strike is well above average, with a complete head on the reverse seated figure and good central detail as well. A little lamination is seen on the portrait's cheek, a shallow errant planchet cutting arc extends across the tops of VA and around the lower left reverse, and a little bit of natural crudity is seen at the rim at the top of the obverse. This piece's preservation since striking is superb, with no significant marks, choice surface originality, and outstanding eye appeal. This type is rarely found finer. Were it not for the previous lot, this piece would be something of a landmark offering! Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex the Lawrence R. Stack Collection, November 2006. PCGS Population: 7; 3 finer (MS-66 BN finest). To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F. Martin Collection, click here. PCGS# 478.
