1788 New Jersey Maris 50-f Rarity-3 Head Left Type. NGC graded Fine-15. Rather glossy medium steel brown and light chocolate. The surfaces are decent but not perfectly smooth, and most of the microscopic roughness appears to be from planchet quality rather than environmental impact (which is typical of the planchets used for these Head Left varieties). No verdigris and the only marks are a short scratch under the M in UNUM and a couple more in the field left of the lower part of the shield. The date and legends are complete and strong, and the repunching on both of the 8's in the date is obvious. MDS with the usual swelling at the back of the horse. A nice example of the very popular Head Left type. Listed on pages 70-71 in the "Redbook."
Estimated Value $500-UP.
