Lot Title:
|
1786 New Jersey Copper, "Narrow Shield" type. Maris 24-P, Rarity-2, 162.2 grains. VF.
|
|
Description:
|
Maris 24-P is a Redbook "narrow shield" type, and one of the more common New Jersey varieties, for that matter. This example is struck on a big, round planchet, with obverse details just a few percent off center southeast, and reverse details off center to the north only slightly. Light corrosion on both sides is fairly consistent and not horribly granular as it is for some of those deeply corroded coins that look like slices of pepperoni. Walnut-brown surfaces blend reasonably well with the even darker speckles and tiny pits that characterize the surface issue. Details are quite decent, with the horse's eye and nostril visible, though the date is little weaker than ideal.
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.
