- 1787 Nova Eborac Copper. W-5750. Rarity-6. Large Head. VF-25 BN (NGC). This mid grade example retains full, bold outline detail to the obverse portrait to allow ready appreciation of this significant variety. Peripheral lettering on that side is a bit soft, yet largely discernible with patience, the reverse with good outline definition to all design elements. Dark antique copper surfaces are universally granular with moderate porosity, yet free of significant marks. A scarce and distinctive Nova Eborac type, punch-linked to the usually encountered "Medium Head" W-5755 and 5760 varieties, though the effigy and seated figure were clearly engraved by a different hand and appear crude in comparison on the present type. Certainly a respectable specimen of this elusive and challenging die pairing. PCGS# 484. NGC ID: 2B4C. Click here for certification details from NGC.
