1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 28-S, W-5070. Rarity-4. Outlined Shield. VF-30 (PCGS). 146.4 grains. 28.5 mm. Reverse aligned roughly 20° clockwise of proper coin turn. Attractive dark olive with contrasting deep peach devices. A good-looking piece, perhaps a trifle granular overall but still glossy and pleasing. A bit of raised scale is present behind the horsehead, and a thin old hairline is seen above the shield, but no other significant defects are noted. The obverse is aligned to 3:00, with denticles visible at left, top, and bottom. The reverse is aligned to 12:00, with IBUS right against the rim and denticles framing the bottom. A small mint clip is seen at 9:00 on the obverse. This piece is plated by Siboni, Howes, and Ish as their exemplar of Die State 3. While not quite Condition Census, this is an important and well pedigreed piece. The finest two are Mint State, followed by an EF or two, and three VFs. This piece probably fits in soon thereafter. The E Pluribus Unum coin was a new addition to the census. Graded EF-40 (PCGS), it brought $4,800. PCGS# 767897. From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from S.H. and H.
