1786 New Jersey copper. Maris 23-P. Rarity-4. Narrow Shield, Curved Plow Beam. VF-35 (PCGS).140.1 grains. Glossy deep mahogany with some scattered dark verdigris, most notable around the obverse periphery. A sharp and pleasing specimen, well detailed and fairly nicely centered. A little rim nick is noted over the star between E and PLURIBUS. This shows the die break above C of CAESAREA but not the later cud that forms over the final A of that word, Die State 2, perhaps the most common of the die states.From the E Pluribus Unum Collection of New Jersey Coppers.
