1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 45-d, W-5240. Rarity-5+. No Sprig Above

1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 45-d, W-5240. Rarity-5+. No Sprig Above Plow, Hypertrophic Ear. Very Fine, Environmental Damage. 152.63 grains. SHI DS1, with no evidence of die swell at the lower left obverse, the bottom edge of the lower plow handle distinct and fully separated from the adjacent field. This piece is well defined overall, all major design elements clear, and comparable in this regard to the Richard August specimen that, as PCGS VF Details--Edge Damaged, brought $1,440 in our November 2025 Showcase Auction; the August coin was formerly ranked third in the 2013 SHI Census, and then listed as fifth best in the 2024 update, the last of four VF- coins that trail the EF- Maris-Garrett-Partrick coin ranked as finest known. The present example, however, is more significantly impaired due to dark charcoal-copper surfaces that are rough and porous, some old, inactive corrosion also evident in and around the centers on both sides. The planchet is nice and round, however, and with no troublesome marks joining uniformly bold VF detail this is a respectable example of a scarce and challenging Maris number that will surely catch the eye of many advanced New Jersey copper enthusiasts. PCGS# 767859. BASE PCGS# 506. NGC ID: AUL8.
