Lot 47
1787 New Jersey Maris 54-k Rarity-3 Serpent Head. NGC graded AU-53 Brown Mint Error. Frosty steel brown and light chocolate. No corrosion, verdigris, or contact marks. The only defects on this piece are from the flawed planchet. A large irregular piece of the planchet is missing at the rim over AESA and the opposing area left of the bottom of the shield. There are a few tiny striations and planchet flakes elsewhere on both sides, but they are not significant or distracting. The date is bold and the legends not affected by the large planchet void are clear. The Serpent Head designation and Mint Error status are noted on the NGC label. Listed on page 70 in the "Redbook."
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
