1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 43-d, W-5225. Rarity-1. Outlined Shield. VF-35 (PCGS).，144.5 grains. Glossy, light chocolate surfaces are to be expected on this ubiquitous die combination that is often found pretty like this. The obverse is centered toward 10:30, where the rim is a bit wonky as made, while the reverse is centered toward the 7 oclock position, where a distinct planchet cutter lip is found. Many of the intricate die lines seen only on high grade specimens are noted in the protected areas in and around the reverse shield, while a trifling softness in strike around the horses head has obscured most of these fine die marks on the obverse. A prize coin for the collector seeking ideal surface quality.，PCGS# 506. NGC ID: 2B4N.，，<em>From the Syd Martin Collection.</em>
