- 1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 56-n, W-5310. Rarity-1. Camel Head--Overstruck on a 1778 Machin’s Mills Halfpenny, Vlack 12-78B--Fine-15 (PCGS). 118.8 grains. 28.3 mm. The final example of this variety in this memorable offering. Attractive medium brown with lighter devices over evenly and microscopically granular surfaces. The obverse of the New Jersey shows the portrait bust of the Machin's halfpenny boldly, with the cuirass clear in the right obverse field. On the reverse, the 1778 date is mostly clear above the shield, and much of Britannia may be seen within it. A nice looking piece, just a few little rim nicks and marks commensurate with the grade. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Jim Skalbe to Frank McGrath, March 1998; McCawley and Grellman's 2007 C4 Convention Sale, December 2007, lot 352. PCGS# 767837.
