- 1786 New Jersey Copper. Maris 15-J, W-4815. Rarity-4. Wide Shield. VG-10 (PCGS). 151.9 grains. This is a choice and smooth, brassy specimen with darker brown hugging the devices and legends on both sides, displaying a color palette akin to the majestic orichalcum sestertii of the Roman Empire. The obverse is centered toward 3 o'clock, the reverse tight toward the 2 o'clock position, merging the tops of US UNUM of the legends with the rim. Called "terminal die state" on Tom Madigan's collector card, the obverse is Die State 3, while the reverse appears to be Die State 2. A well-chosen specimen for which one could make a strong case for a higher grade based on the choiceness of the surfaces. PCGS# 45423. NGC ID: 2B4F. Provenance: From the Syd Martin Collection. Purchased privately on January 16, 2000, from Tom Madigan, who acquired the coin from Clem Schettino.
