1786 New Jersey Copper. Maris 21-N, W-4910. Rarity-3. Wide Shield. VF-30 (PCGS). Warm golden and olive-brown patina greets the viewer from both sides of this originally and attractively preserved example. Centering is good for the type, the borders near-fully denticulated, while the strike is well executed otherwise with plenty of bold detail remaining. Smooth and tight surfaces that are free of troublesome blemishes - as made or not - round out an impressive list of attributes for this desirable mid-grade Maris 21-N. PCGS# 498. NGC ID: 2B4H.
