Description
1787 Nova Eborac Copper, VF25
Rare Small Head, W-5765
1787 Nova Eborac Copper, Small Head, W-5765, High R.6, VF25
NGC. Ex: Long Island Collection. Liberty's branch arm points to
the I in VIRT(UE). The Small Head is rarest among the four
varieties of Nova Eborac coppers. The makers are unknown, but the
Whitman Colonial Encyclopedia states "it seems likely that
John Bailey and Ephraim Brasher operated a minting shop in New York
City and produced these." The gunmetal-blue surfaces are
microgranular, as usual for the Small Head, but no marks are of any
notice. The strike is soft near the chin of the bust, but the
remainder of the coin is evenly defined. The obverse is misaligned
toward 7 o'clock, and the reverse is misaligned toward 10 o'clock,
but all legends are complete. Listed on page 68 of the 2024
