1786 New Jersey copper. Maris 8 1/2 -C. Rarity-8. No Coulter. F-15 (PCGS).116.6 grains. Glossy but finely granular, with extremely attractive dark steel surfaces. The devices are sharper than the grade indicated, with good detail on both sides. The shield verticals show good definition, the azure is even crisper, with the center limited by strike as much as wear. The obverse is aligned to 10:00, with the die edge visible from above 3:00 to near 7:30. The reverse is similarly aligned to 7:00, with a raised area outside the die edge from 12:00 to 3:00. Some thin old pinscratches below the date and plow handle blend into both the color and texture of the surface. A few little reverse nicks harm nothing. The die state is perfect, as seen on all three known specimens from this die pair.<p>This variety is among the rarest of all New Jersey coppers, which is all the more impressive considering how distinctive it is in appearance. The Garrett coin, considered second finest known, was the discovery specimen, identified as a new obverse die and called 8 1/2 by sometime in the 1950s when Richard Picker first found it and shared word of its existence with Bill Anton, who ended up owning all three examples known at one time or other. The piece didn’t come from Maris, but it seems likely it was discovered as new and sold to T. Harrison Garrett fairly early; an exploration of the Garrett index card files at the American Numismatic Society may resolve its origin. The Maris 8 1/2 appellation connects this coin to the Date Under Plowbeams, which share the same tiny date numerals and are in the same family of dies. This reverse is married to the Date Under Plowbeam obverse 7, placing this in relative proximity, though Siboni, Howes, and Ish argue this could have easily been called Maris 9 1/2 as well.<p>This was the second example discovered. Richard Picker, armed with the knowledge of this obverse’s existence at a time when it had not yet been published, went out and found this piece, then sold it to Frederick Taylor in 1961. The third specimen was the most recently found, cherrypicked by Picker about 1962. No other examples from these dies have been identified since, and no fourth example is rumored to exist.<p>For its rarity, its distinctiveness, its status as finest known, and its impressive provenance, this is one of the great prizes of the E Pluribus Unum Collection.From the E Pluribus Unum Collection of New Jersey Coppers.
