- 1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 55-m, W-5305. Rarity-4. Second U/S in PLURIBUS. Fine-15 (PCGS).
A desirable example of this scarce Guide Bookvariety with a dramatically blundered reverse legend. The patina is a pleasing blend of golden-tan across the high points and dark chocolate brown in the fields. Largely uniform in definition, with weakness to portions of the horse resulting from die fatigue. Failure at the center of the shield is a clear indicator of Die State 2, though the crack from the middle shield point has not yet developed. We last had the pleasure of handling this piece nearly a quarter-century ago in the Bowers and Merena sale of September 1995.
Provenance: From the Collection of Larry L. Terrell. Earlier ex our (Bowers and Merena's) sale of September 1995, lot 3171; McCawley and Grellman's sale of the Scott Barnes Collection, October 1996, lot 410.
PCGS# 506. NGC ID: 2B4N.
