Lot Title:
|
1787 (Maris 58-n Low R.5) New Jersey copper double struck over host 1787 (Miller 31.1 R.4) Connecticut copper, VF.
|
|
Description:
|
A 1787 M.31.1 Connecticut copper served as the host coin for the New Jersey overstrike, itself attributed as 58-n. The host was choice, as the smooth, even pecan-brown color and pleasing planchet quality indicate. Although it was not uncommon for existing coins to be have served as hosts for restruck coins, it is not common to find one with two clear dates, as is the case here. An arm abruptly pokes down and out of the left side of the shield, and the New Jersey strike was 5% off center southeast. NOVA CAESAR followed by CONN are visible on the obverse.
This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
