1786 New Jersey Copper. Maris 15-T, W-4825. Rarity-3. Leaning Head. VF-30, Damaged.142.02 grains. A considerably delightful example of the Leaning Head variety. A group of old indentations are apparent across the upper obverse, though these are well integrated into the overall aesthetic. It is an otherwise superior piece, with an ideally centered strike and relatively tight surface texture. The mellow olive-brown color is complemented by scattered traces of green, russet, and dark cocoa patina in the protected areas. Boldly defined, with sharp lines to the shield and intricate detail to the horses mane. Surely worthy of close inspection.From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
