1787 COPPER New Jersey Copper, Small Planchet, Plain Shield AU53 PCGS. Ex: Ford. Maris 44-d, R.4. 144.1 grains. Described as "arguably the finest known" in its Ford auction appearance. Golden-brown toning is complemented with many mahogany streaks. Bold and unmarked surfaces exhibit striking softness only on the upper right shield outline and on a small portion of the plow. A few mint-made planchet streaks on the reverse have darkly toned. Both sides are slightly off center; the obverse toward 7:30, the reverse toward 9:30. However, all legends are fully intact. Listed on page 66 of the 2006 Guide Book.
