1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 41-c, W-5205. Rarity-5+. Outlined Shield. VG Details--Corrosion (NGC).，A dichotomous example of this New Jersey rarity, the obverse displays sharper than VG details though also with a roughness that softens the sharpness of the designs. The reverse, on the other hand, is perfectly smooth, choice and beautiful and is actually nicer and more complete than that of the Henry Miller-Ted Craige specimen we sold for $5287.50 in January 2013. Numismatic history will repeat itself on auction night, as Syd will pass this coin to its next advanced collection, just as Ted Craige did when he passed this coin to colonial connoisseur Phil Keller nearly 50 years ago.，PCGS# 506. NGC ID: 2B4N.，，<em>From the Syd Martin Coll</em><em>ection. Earlier Ex Ted Craige </em><em>Collection, January 9, 1971; Heritages Sale of the W. Philip Keller Collection, October 28, 2010, lot 3288.</em>
