1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 64-t, W-5380. Rarity-1. Trident Shield. EF-40 (PCGS).A remarkably sharp example featuring intact circumferences of toothy denticles across each side. Cleaned long ago and now retoned in a blend of gold and dark navy shades. The obverse remains somewhat bright under lighting while the reverse has mellowed nicely. Signs of die fatigue are most prominent on the obverse, where cracks have formed in the peripheries equivalent to Die State 3. Inspection with a glass reveals traces of natural texture but few notable abrasions to the surfaces. A largely pleasing example that rivals the lower ranks of the Condition Census in terms of sharpness.From the Collection of Larry L. Terrell.
