1786 New Jersey Copper. Maris 24-R, W-4975. Rarity-5+. Narrow Shield, Curved Plow Beam. VF-30 (PCGS).，142.8 grains. The Maris 24-R die combination was known by fewer than five specimens in Maris day; though now several dozen are known, it is no less desirable a variety today than it was then. This coins steely brown surfaces are microscopically granular in the fields, lending a light textured effect to this otherwise smooth, glossy and attractive scarcity. Well struck and well centered, a solitary shallow curved rim clip above V of NOVA serves to hallmark this pleasing specimen as the Syd Martin duplicate.，PCGS# 45424.，，<em>From the Syd Martin Collection. Purchased privately from George Seifrit, February 18, 1997.</em>
