Lot 34
1786 New Jersey Maris 17-b Rarity-3 the "PLUKIBUS" variety VG8. Small Planchet with Narrow Shield. Sharpness F12 or better but uniformly granular leaving the date and parts of the legend blurry but readable. No marks or verdigris. Rather glossy dark chocolate brown with lighter brown toning covering the devices. Rare LDS with a small cud break that effectively obliterates the 1 in the date and extends up to the bottom of the plow with a wave extending from this cud through the plow to the second A in CAESAREA. The "PLUKIBUS" error is visible (the "K" is just a poorly formed "R"). Listed on page 69 in the "Redbook." Weight 142.9 grains.
Estimated Value $150-UP.
