1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 62-q, W-5350. Rarity-3. Large Planchet, Plain Shield. Fine-12.,140.5 grains. Glossy medium brown and quite smooth, with usual circulation wear and a shallow mark at rim to left of date. Struck from Die State 3, the obverse die badly cracked and brown below the singletree, the central obverse die so badly sunken that the horses head is just a ghosted image. Maris 62-q is common die marriage, though we dont recall seeing very many of this distinctive, collectible die state, and fewer still so attractively preserved.Ex Scott Barnes/2nd Annual Colonial Coin Collectors Club Sale, McCawley and Grellman, October 1996, lot 419; Sixteenth Annual C-4 Convention Sale, McCawley/Grellman/Agre/Wnuck, November 2010, lot 94.
