The January 2012 Americana Sale

详细说明: 1787 Nova Eborac Copper. W-5755. Seated Figure Facing Left. Medium Bust. AU-53 (PCGS). CAC. Of this variety Q. David Bowers (<em>Whitman Encyclopedia of Early American Coins</em>, 2009) states: "Usually with date partly off the planchet; probably only about 20 percent show the full date boldly visible." A significant departure from the norm for the W-5755 Nova Eborac copper, the coin we offer exhibits a well centered strike on both sides with all four digits in the date fully present on the planchet. Evenly toned in a warm golden-copper patina, the hard, overall smooth surfaces on both sides are also an uncommon attribute for the type. The Nova Eborac coppers are considered to be a state issue of New York, the word "Nova Eborac" being Latin for "New York."
