Lot 32
1787 New Jersey Maris 6-C Rarity-5 VF30. Variety with the Pattern Reverse Die. Sharpness EF45 or better and choice except for a dozen small, shallow pits on the obverse, many of those containing greenish verdigris. A similar small patch of roughness with verdigris is located in the left-center of the shield and near the rim over NUM in UNUM. Otherwise this piece is beautiful and the details are sharp. Excellent eye appeal in spite of the minor imperfections. The 8 in the date was softly impressed into the die but the date is complete and easily readable. A very nice example of the tough "Pattern Shield" variety. Listed on page 69 in the "Redbook." Weight 131.1 grains.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
Ex New Netherlands Coin Co., 12/3/1968:388.
