1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 60-p, W-5340. Rarity-4. Large Planchet, Plain Shield, PLURIBS. VF-25 (PCGS).，148.3 grains. Hard, dark brown surfaces are microscopically granular where not worn smooth. The highest points of the devices and legends are highlighted in pale olive brown. Well-centered on the typical large flan, the here pertinent PLURIBS misspelling is perfectly clear and bold. As noted in the Siboni/Howes/Ish reference, "Maris 60-p generally comes on dark, porous planchets." On that front, this piece is at least only lightly granular and very appealing for the grade. The 60-p is not the only New Jersey Copper with the PLURIBS misspelling, though with 55-m, the absence of the U in the legend was caught and corrected with little attempt to eradicate the S from below the U!，PCGS# 512. NGC ID: 2B4P.，，<em>From the Syd Martin Collection. </em>
