- 1787 New Jersey copper. Maris 73-aa. Rarity-4. Plaited Mane. Overstruck on 1788 Connecticut copper, Miller 13-A.1 CONNLC. Fine-15 (PCGS). 114.8 grains. Nice light brown with fairly smooth surfaces. The horsehead, plow, and shield are all bold, though no date is present. The obverse legend reads CAES IND and the sprig hand of the Connecticut undertype seems to emerge from the horse’s chest. The reverse legend reads LCLUR US UNUCTORI, and the profile of the Connecticut portrait emerges in spectral fashion from the right side of the shield when oriented upside down. The die state is late, with two die cracks forming a V with the horse’s snout at the vertex. The crack or damage at C of CAESAREA is also visible. Pleasing and unflawed, a typically fascinating example of this always eye-catching variety. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection of New Jersey Coppers. PCGS# 763355and 521277.
