- 1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 56-n, W-5310. Rarity-1. Camel Head--Overstruck on a 1787 RR-13 Vermont Copper--VF-30 (PCGS).
130.24 grains. An incredibly intriguing specimen for specialists in the New Jersey, Vermont, and Machin's Mills series. The undertype of a 1787 RR-13 Vermont copper is most obvious at the center of the obverse, where the hair ribbon of the portrait shows through at the neck of the horse. The New Jersey obverse die is rotated about 45 degrees counterclockwise relative to the undertype, and the letters of VERMONS AUCTORI are sparsely visible between the NOVA CAESAREA legend. The drapery on the lap of Britannia shows through most clearly at the center of the shield on the reverse, with the Vermont shield placed near the upper right corner of the New Jersey shield. Darkly toned in walnut and mahogany shades, with trivial patches of granularity throughout. Attractive in-hand and very entertaining to study.
Provenance: From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
PCGS# 515. NGC ID: 2B4V.
