1787 New Jersey copper. Maris 73-aa. Rarity-4. Plaited Mane. Overstruck on 1747 Machin’s Mills halfpenny, Vlack 1-47A. EF-45 (PCGS).152.8 grains. Ranked first overall by Siboni, Howes, and Ish, this is a simply extraordinary example, boldly overstruck on the only Machin’s Mills halfpenny variety to depict George II. The surfaces are glossy and frosty medium brown, smooth in some areas but mostly showing the irregular texture and fabric of the host. The George II portrait is beneath the horsehead, with the shoulder cuirass visible left of 12:00 and II REX bold where NOVA should be. The horsehead is struck into elegant rounded relief amidst the peripheral chaos, and the plow and sprigs are likewise well detailed. On the reverse, the New Jersey designs and the Machin’s Mills designs are aligned with precision that seems unlikely to be accidental. The legend appears to read BRITAN S UNUM, the exergue line from the halfpenny passes through the base of the shield, and the head of seated Britannia looms above the shield near 12:00. The overall aesthetic is that of a Dada performance in copper, and it’s magnificent.<p>The visual appeal and detail of this piece clearly demand its placement high in the Condition Census. It’s hard to tell if this copper shows any wear at all. Siboni, Howes, and Ish ranked this first among all specimens known to them. Whatever its rank, this is an absolutely top shelf specimen of one of the most interesting of all Maris varieties, and for that reason it is a potential collection centerpiece.From the E Pluribus Unum Collection of New Jersey Coppers. Earlier, from Bowers and Merena’s sale of the Dr. Stanley Sherr Collection, June 1984, lot 3268; William Anton Collection; E Pluribus Unum Collection, via Larry Stack.
