Lot 42
1787 New Jersey Maris 43-d Rarity-1 VF35. Small Planchet, Outlined Shield. Ten points sharper but covered with faint microscopic granularity under glossy dark chocolate brown toning. A glass reveals a couple tiny specks of verdigris in the field before the horse, and the only contact marks are a small scrape in the field under the plow handles and a very light rim bruise at the third A in CAESAREA. Nicely centered on the planchet. The date and legends are complete and clear. MDS with a small but obvious lump on the right edge of the shield. Listed on pages 69-70 in the "Redbook." Weight 152.6 grains.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
