1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 43-Y, W-5220. Rarity-5-. Outlined Shield. Fine-12 (PCGS).,151.8 grains. Medium golden brown toning is noted the most worn points, while the fields are a commingling of light and dark brown in a composition not uncommon on circulated survivors of this die combination. The rims are wide and well worn, clearly having taken the brunt of circulation while protecting the still sharp horse head, plow, and shield motifs. A more pleasing, mid-grade example of this very scarce New Jersey copper variety could not be hoped for.,PCGS# 506. NGC ID: 2B4N.,,<em>From the Syd Martin Collection.
