1786 New Jersey Copper. Maris 20-N, W-4905. Rarity-4. Wide Shield, Drunken Die Cutter. Fine-12 (PCGS).165.18 grains. This is a desirable and evenly worn example with deep butterscotch coloration across each side. Slight swelling in the right obverse field indicates a later die state, though the reverse remains quite bold. A few trivial ticks show in the fields under magnification, but the complexion is left smooth and glossy to the naked eye. Scarce and overall attractive.From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
