Description
1787 New Jersey Copper, MS61 Brown
Finest Known PLURIRUS Type, Maris 55-l
1787 New Jersey Copper, PLURIRUS, Maris 55-l, W-5300, R.5, MS61
Brown NGC. 154.1 grains. The finest known example of the Maris
55-l, the famous PLURIRUS variety. The surfaces of both sides are
remarkably smooth and free of marks, with only slight unevenness
evident under magnification to the right of the horse. The
coloration is an appealing toasted brown with red undertones.
Struck from the intermediate state of the obverse die, after a
small crack has developed at the rim between the AR of CAESAREA,
but before the larger crack seen on the Maris plate coin also
offered in this sale. The obverse details are extraordinarily
sharp, most notably at the eye (this may be the only example of
this die combination to show a fully rendered eye). Both sides were
struck slightly off-center, with the final 7 of the date being
partly off-planchet. The reverse is also exceptional. This is the
only use of the Maris l reverse, making this not only the finest
known example of the die variety but of the entire type. All shield
lines are crisp and clear, and the flawed B that resembles an R is
obvious. A splendid coin with an illustrious provenance. Listed on
page 73 of the 2021 Guide Book.Ex: Richard B. Winsor Collection (S.H. & H. Chapman, 12/1895), lot 202; John G. Mills (S.H. & H. Chapman, 4/1904), lot 452; George H.
