Lot 791
1787 New Jersey Maris 37-J Rarity-5 F12. "Goiter" variety. Sharpness VF20 but covered with uniform fine to moderate granularity that's fairly well hidden under a glossy dark olive brown patina. No verdigris or contact marks, but there are three tiny pits in the field over the left top of the shield. The "goiter" lump under the horse's jaw is strong. The obverse is struck slightly off center to the right causing REA to fade into the rim. The date is weakly impressed but easy to read. Weight 138.4 grains.
Estimated Value $100 - 150.
