1787 New Jersey Copper, Large Planchet Sub-Type. Maris 64-t, Rarity-1, 149.5 grains. XF.
|
|
Description:
|
Maris 64-t is common, universally considered R.1 for scarcity, making it a premier choice for a "large planchet" New Jersey copper. But "Large" seems an inadequate term in describing this particular coin. This one was struck on a huge planchet that easily accommodates the entire design and then some, with denticles fully defined all around each side, and still with extra rim area well beyond their perimeter! An additional factor that positively affect the eye appeal is a planchet that is smooth (despite numerous tiny obverse annealment flaws, as struck), particularly the reverse, which appears essentially perfect for the grade. Finally, a fabulous strike (for the variety) has left a bold impression of the plow and horse's head on the obverse, and virtually the entire shield on the reverse, and all lettering and numerals are exceptionally bold. It goes without saying that on a planchet this big, the date is as bold as can be. If big, bold and beautiful mean a lot to you, then this is your coin.
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.
