1787 Nova Eborac Copper, VF25
W-5750, Large Head, Figure Left

1787 COPPER Nova Eborac Copper, Large Head, W-5750, R.6, VF25 PCGS. A large mintage of New York coppers dated 1787 appeared struck from letter punches that matched those used by Ephraim Brasher and John Bailey, suggesting those two renowned silversmiths/goldsmiths operated a mint of sorts in New York City producing the Nova Eborac (New York) coppers. and perhaps other issues. This is an example of the very scarce Large Head facing right variety. On the reverse, the seated figure faces left. The workmanship is better on the Nova Eborac coppers compared to other New York minters. Well-centered on a smooth planchet, this chocolate-brown example shows slight weakness at the centers but otherwise choice surfaces for the assigned VF25 grade. There are no signs of corrosion or granularity on either side. Listed on page 38 of the 2026 Guide Book. PCGS Population: 3 in 25, 10 finer (3/26).
