Description
1787 New Jersey Copper, AU53
Scarce Maris 63-r Sprig Above Plow
1787 New Jersey Copper, Sprig Above Plow, Maris 63-r, W-5370,
R.5, AU53 NGC. 153.1 grains. A well-centered and nicely
preserved example, with attractive chestnut-brown toning and strong
eye appeal. The present coin is ranked second on Mike Wierzba's
Condition Census for the variety. It is softly struck, as is
typically seen, with no eye apparent on the horse head. Close
examination of the plow, scroll, and lettering indicates a near
absence of circulation wear, with only the slightest bit of rub
visible at the highest points of the devices. A couple of trivial
marks above the SA of CAESAREA are noted for accuracy, but
certainly do not distract. The Maris r reverse is here represented
in its second state, with weakening to the denticles evident
between 7 and 8 o'clock. The shield, like the horse head, is softly
struck, retaining some pre-strike planchet marks. A splendid piece,
just a short step away from the finest known. Listed on page 74 of
the 2021 Guide Book.Ex: Fred Baldwin (private sale, 1961); Norweb Family Collection (Bowers and Merena, 10/1987), lot 1372; Jon Hanson; Donald G. Partrick.
