1787 COPPER New Jersey Copper, No Sprig above Plow VF30 NGC. M. 46-e, W-5250, R.1. 149.7 grains. Although plentiful and of modest quality, this Green-Newman pedigreed piece will appeal to specialists for its dramatic late die state. The obverse exhibits heavy clash marks with die failure below the plow handles and through the date, equal to Die State 4 in the New Jersey reference, where only one later state is identified. Both sides exhibit tan and olive, with maroon oxidation on the reverse. Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $1.50; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society
