1787 Nova Eborac (New York) Reverse Figure Seated Right Breen-988 PCGS graded AU50. Light to medium brown and steel with darker steel brown toning on the highpoints of the devices. The surfaces are somewhat frosty and there are no notable defects. Nicely struck but the obverse is off slightly to K-7 and there is a minor planchet clip (as struck) that touches the bottoms of the 178 in the date. The date and legends on the reverse are especially bold. A nice example of this issue for New York. and it comes with a nice provenance. The Craig-Heard provenance is noted on the PCGS label.
