Lot 465
1787 New Jersey Maris 42-c R5 VG10. Slightly sharper but the fields are covered with microscopic roughness while the devices are smooth. No verdigris, and the only notable mark is a shallow planchet void near the rim at K-7 on the reverse. Slightly glossy chocolate brown with lighter steel brown toning covering the devices. The date and legends are complete and easily readable except for the second 7 in the date, which is faint. Not perfect but not bad for this tough variety. Comparable to the Frederick Taylor-John Griffee example (1995 C-4 Sale, McCawley & Grellman Auctions 10/21/95:69).
Estimated Value $250-UP.
