1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 63-r, W-5370. Rarity-5. Large Planchet, Plain Shield. Fine-15.，137.3 grains. Chocolate brown with lighter tan on the more heavily circulated high points, the fields are textured and showed advanced erosion of the surface. The design motifs and legends are all perfectly clear, with both sides a trifling bit off-center, bringing the date digits very close to the rim on the obverse. The Maris 63-r die marriage is very scarce, with examples generally appearing when significant collections are sold, and the present example has overall positive appeal despite its less than perfect surface quality.
