1788 New Jersey copper. Maris 74-bb. Rarity-5+. Running Fox. EF Detail, Scratch (PCGS).142.6 grains. A rare and elusive variety, here represented by perhaps the most famous specimen of the die pair. The surfaces are chocolate brown and nearly smooth, and the devices are especially bold. Siboni, Howes, and Ish contend that “examples with the eye visible are unknown, suggesting what might be an engraving error,” but the eye is perfectly plain here. The date is bold and the right side of the obverse is nicely framed with denticles. The most noticeable characteristic of this piece is a single long straight cut crossing the coin from the rim above 9:00, across the mane, bust, and plow bar, to the rim just beyond the right side of the exergual line. A bit of dark scale (which looks a bit silvery at some angles to the light) is seen left of the date and around the reverse periphery. A pitted area of inherent planchet texture remains visible at the flat part of the shield’s center, opposite the highest relief of the well rounded horsehead.<p>The Running Foxes are distinctive, both stylistically and technologically. Their planchet stock is unlike other varieties, their die work is unlike other varieties, and the dies used on the Running Fox varieties are unconnected by die linkage to any non-Running Fox varieties at all. Of course, there is the fox itself, visible here at the lower left reverse, an anonymous signature whose meaning or author can only be speculated on. The intrigue that surrounds these coppers makes them all the more desirable. This piece’s exquisite sharpness and impressive provenance make it one of the most desirable examples of this evocative type.From the E Pluribus Unum Collection of New Jersey Coppers.
