- 1786 New Jersey Copper. Maris 26-S, W-4995. Rarity-5+. Heart Shaped Shield, Straight Plow Beam. Fine-12 (PCGS). Rich shades of golden tan paint the high points and accent the deeper chestnut color of the fields. Trivially granular under magnification but otherwise smooth and glossy. The devices are evenly worn and bold, with just an old blemish at the 7 in the date to be noted. Traces of swelling are seen around REA of CAESAREA as defined by Die State 2. An attractive and delightful treat for specialists with a distinctly shaped horse and shield. Considered a Rarity-5+ variety, Maris 26-S is challenging to locate with good eye appeal and surface quality. The authors of New Jersey State Copperswrite that "Choice specimens are scarce and in strong demand," emphasizing the significance of a wholesome example like the present offering. Provenance: From the Collection of Larry L. Terrell. Earlier ex the November 2002 Colonial Coin Collectors Club (C4) Auction, lot 409. PCGS# 496. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
