- 1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 73-aa, W-5430. Rarity-4. Plaited Mane--Overstruck on a 1787 Nova Eborac Copper, Seated Figure Right--AG-3 (PCGS).
107.1 grains. 28.1 mm. Attractive light brown with scattered granularity. A well-worn example, but still offering good eye appeal, a complete horsehead and plow, CAE of CAESAREA atop the obverse, and a complete shield. The real attraction here is the undertype, a host unlisted by Mossman and undoubtedly extremely rare. The distinctive shield of the Nova Eborac is easily seen under the plowbar at the lower right portion of the obverse. The elbow and pole of the seated figure appear crisply where the New Jersey date should be. The A of EBORAC is present near 9:00 on the New Jersey reverse.
Even without the distinctive host, this is pretty nice for the assigned grade, but the undertype makes it a real treat for advanced specialists.
Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Richard August, November 2006.
PCGS# 763355.
