- 1787 New Jersey copper. Maris 56-n. Rarity-1. Camel Head. Overstruck on 1787 Connecticut copper, M. 42-kk.2, AUCTOPI ET IIB. EF-40 (PCGS). 144.3 grains. Sharply defined and struck on a nice broad planchet, with denticles visible around much of both sides. The surfaces are attractive if microscopically granular mahogany brown. A glass finds many light marks and scuffs, though none are individually serious. The date of the undertype is lined up with seemingly purposeful precision beneath the date of the New Jersey parasite. LIB, followed by a period and a five-petaled punctuation, is plain in the lower right obverse periphery, and AUCT is almost as bold as UNUM on the reverse. Glossy and attractive, a very interesting specimen of the variety. Die State 2 with the usual cracks. Provenance: From the E Pluribus Unum Collection of New Jersey Coppers. Earlier, from Bowers and Merena’s sale of the Chris Schenkel Collection, November 1990, lot 5479. PCGS# 767837and 515. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
