1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 56-n, W-5310. Rarity-1. Camel Head—Overstruck on a 1787 Connecticut Copper, Miller 30-hh.1, ETLIR—VG-8 (PCGS).130.3 grains. Light golden tan and choice in color, the surfaces show a proliferation of old, fine scratches on both sides. While usually only the peripheral parts of the host coin are preserved on Maris 56-n overstrikes, here we see almost as much of the reverse of the Connecticut as we do of the New Jersey. ET LIR, in addition, is extremely clear, wholly unaffected by the overstriking!From the Robert M. Martin Collection. Ex Bowers and Merena’s Sale of the Greenwald and Jackson Collections, September 11, 1995, lot 3174.
