Description

1787 COPPER Nova Eborac Copper, Seated Right, Breen-987, W-5760, R.4, VF30 NGC. Die alignment: 180?. A problem-free, circulated example of this New York Confederation-era copper with mellow brown coloration and full devices if not legends. The arms of the State of New York can clearly be seen in the reverse figure's shield. Breen points out that the Seated Right reverse was very deeply engraved in the die, making it impossible to strike properly. Listed on page 70 of the 2018 Guide Book. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
