1788 New Jersey copper. Maris 67-v. Rarity-1. Horses Head Right, Brushed Mane. AU-50 (PCGS).143.7 grains. Glossy medium brown with excellent eye appeal. The surfaces are mostly smooth, but scattered inherent pits and flaws are seen, typical of the variety. The date is complete, though the area below it is a bit crude. The centers are well struck and surrounded by smooth fields on both sides. A few very trivial hairlines are noted in the field below the snout, and a minor abrasion is noted at the rim beneath the plow handles. RIB of PLURIBUS is swollen, Die State 2. This is a handsome example of a distinctive variety that is often chosen as a type coin.From the E Pluribus Unum Collection of New Jersey Coppers.
