Lot 43
1787 New Jersey Maris 46-e Rarity-1 VF25. Small Planchet, Outlined Shield. Ten points sharper but there is an obvious crack in the planchet slanting from K-11 to K-4.5, as struck. The fields and protected areas are covered with extremely faint granularity and there is a small patch of very fine corrosion under the horse's mouth. The only contact marks are some microscopic hairline scratches that are well-hidden in the mostly glossy chocolate and steel brown toning. Struck slightly off center to K-2 leaving a few letters tight to the edge but all are complete. This piece offers nice eye appeal in spite of the obvious crack, and the other defects are insignificant. MDS with obvious swelling on the obverse, especially at the top of the date. Listed on pages 69-70 in the "Redbook." Weight 149.6 grains.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
