- Double Struck Deer Head Maris 34-J 1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 34-J, W-5115. Rarity-3. Deer Head--Double Struck--Fine-15 (PCGS). 133.2 grains. 31.0 mm. A very impressive double strike, struck once normally and then neatly struck again to 9:00 roughly 20% off-center. NOVA appears twice, as does REA and 87 of the date. The cud at the date, definitive for Die State 4, appears less complete than usually seen, making this something of a Die State 3.5 intermediate state. The planchet is cracked from the field to 3:00 on the obverse. The eye appeal is good, with interesting maroon patina on the obverse, contrasting with deep honey brown devices, while the reverse is fairly smooth with olive and golden tan. The dominant design element on the reverse is the second, off-center shield, seen with a partial legend. Though Maris 34-J is almost always encountered as an overstrike, errors this notable are decidedly rare. This was the second New Jersey copper Syd ever acquired. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex George Seifrit, October 1992. PCGS# 763331. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
