1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 55-m, W-5305. Rarity-4. No Sprig Above

Condition Census Maris 55-m New Jersey Distinct U/S Reverse 1787 New Jersey Copper. Maris 55-m, W-5305. Rarity-4. No Sprig Above Plow, Second U/S in PLURIBUS. AU-50 (PCGS). 149.8 grains. SHI DS1. A stellar representative of this Maris number, one of the finest that we can ever recall handling. The obverse and reverse are warm autumn-brown and light olive in color. The fields appear rough to the naked eye and under magnification show many tiny flecks, almost certainly slag from an improperly annealed planchet strip. The final digit in the date is obscure, the very tip of the horse's barrel soft, the reverse sharper in most elements. Full mane, eye bold, nostril clear, plow fairly sharp. Our online archives going back at least 20 years confirm that the vast majority of survivors from these dies are in the Fine to Very Fine range, the best usually available the finest at the Choice VF level. The 2024 SHI Condition Census even extends down to VF+, further confirming the conditionally challenging nature of this Maris number. The Norweb coin, ranked CC#2 therein, realized $38,400 in Heritage's March 2021 sale of the Partrick Collection. It was certified AU-55 by NGC at the time. This one is the SHI CC#5 coin and will also sell for a strong price to a New Jersey copper specialist who realizes that examples of the 55-m rarely come any better than this. Provenance: Ex F.C.C.
