Description
1787 Nova Eborac Copper, MS63 Brown
W-5760, Second-Finest Example Known
Ex: Bushnell-Winsor-Mills-Boyd
1787 COPPER Nova Eborac Copper, Seated Right, MS63 Brown PCGS.
Breen-987, W-5760, R.4. Struck from the later state of the dies
with a significant die break on the reverse at the foot of Liberty,
also the cinquefoil in that same area is very weak. After the
ill-fated Seated Left variant, it appears engravers John Bailey and
Gilbert Rindell still had not learned how to properly sink relief
for striking coinage. This reverse was sunk too deeply, and as a
result, the relief is usually softly defined. On this piece,
however, it appears extra care was taken in its manufacture and the
reverse is well brought up, except on the uppermost portions of the
drapery.The exceptionally fine condition of this coin was noted by Charles Bushnell, who covered the piece with a thin layer of shellac to preserve the color. Both obverse and reverse are slightly off center with extra flan on the left portion of each side and some of the lettering cut off on the right side. The surfaces are a lovely medium brown with faint portions of mint red still in evidence in the more protected areas. There are no detracting abrasions or copper spots in evidence. This is the second-finest Nova Eborac graded by either of the major services. Listed on page 80 of the 2019 Guide Book.
