  • Lot 30178

    Descripción:
    1786 COPPER New Jersey Copper, Straight Plow Beam VG10 NGC. M. 15-J, W-4815, R.4. 143.5 grains. Although the J-reverse varieties are known with two dates, 1786 and 1787, extensive research suggests that those coins may have also been struck in 1788 and possibly 1789. The authors of New Jersey State Coppers suggest that the 10 obverse dies of the J-family had multiple engravers, from two to four different individuals. The obverse has a minor rim bruise at 3:30. This example displays light brown devices with steel-brown fields, providing an excellent two-tone appearance that many collectors enjoy. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society; apparently earlier from Hillyer Ryder. Realized $558.13. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Descripción:
    1786 COPPER New Jersey Copper, Straight Plow Beam MS65 Brown NGC. M. 14-J, W-4810, R.1. 154.3 grains. The reverse die that Dr. Maris described as Reverse J is known as the Biennial reverse and was the subject of a detailed 1989 study by Michael Hodder. That single reverse was combined with 10 different obverse dies dated 1786 and 1787. The choice of the label Biennial is especially appropriate to the farm-oriented New Jersey coppers, as the word defines a plant that requires two growing seasons to complete its cycle. Slightly more than 2,000 New Jersey coppers survive from Reverse J, and more than half of those are 14-J coppers. A complete collection of the 10 Reverse J varieties is attainable, although Maris 36-J, rated as High R.6, may prove challenging. This offering of colonials from the Eric P. Newman collection includes six of the 10 J-reverse varieties. The colonial type collector will find the Maris 14-J to be an excellent candidate for the 1786-dated New Jersey coppers. This variety is rated R.1, and it is one of the most plentiful varieties in the series, with examples known in all grades including at least half a dozen Mint State pieces. The Condition Census records the Newman specimen and two others as Gems, and they are the finest known examples. A side-by-side comparison of all three examples might allow determination of the exact Condition Census order, although such a comparison may prove inconclusive. This mahogany-brown example has a sharp strike with bold details, and it is well-centered with the date and all inscriptions complete, showing partial border details. The surfaces are pristine with some waviness that remains from the planchet. Every detail of both dies, including central obverse die roughness, is illustrated on this coin. Ex: Virgil Brand; B.G. Johnson; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $25,850.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Descripción:
    1786 COPPER New Jersey Copper, No Coulter XF40 NGC. M. 12-I, W-4795, R.5. 145.1 grains. This is the second most plentiful No Coulter variety. For Maris 12-I Condition Census includes two XF, one XF-, one VF+, and three VF coins. The Eric P. Newman example compares favorably with the finest known example in the Partrick Collection that is plated in the mentioned reference. An 18th century plow as used in New Jersey and elsewhere in the colonies had two handles approximately waist-high for the average farmer, attached to a plowshare or cutting blade. The singletree extended forward and connected to one or more horses. A removable coulter was an additional blade in front of the plowshare that cut the soil in advance of the plowshare. This lovely olive-brown example has splashes of mahogany toning in the protected areas, with minuscule planchet fissures and handling marks. A highly attractive example for the specialist. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society; apparently earlier from Dr. Thomas Hall with a small collector disc bearing his handwriting; and from Hillyer Ryder with his square envelope. Realized $22,325.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

    Descripción:
    1786 COPPER New Jersey Copper, No Coulter Fine 15 NGC. M. 12-G, W-4790, R.4. 137.3 grains. There are 14 different No Coulter varieties in the New Jersey series, from seven obverse dies and nine reverse dies. Most of those varieties are rare. Approximately 125 examples of the 12-G, and about 60 examples of Maris 12-I, are known. The other 12 No Coulter varieties have a total population of less than 100 examples, and four of those are unique. The obverse has a prominent splash of magenta patina with attractive golden-brown color. Minor marks and trivial planchet fissures are noted on each side of this example. Ex: Thomas L. Elder (9/1916), lot 773; later, Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society; possibly earlier from William Wallace Hays and Hillyer Ryder. Realized $1,762.50.

    Descripción:
    1786 COPPER New Jersey Copper, No Coulter VG10 NGC. M. 11-H, W-4775, Low R.6. 142.0 grains. The shield is wedge-shaped, leading Dr. Maris to use the term Cuneiform. The variety is known today as the Cuneiform Shield variety. The shield was engraved deeply in the reverse die, requiring considerable strike pressure to bring out the details. Most examples have a flat or nearly flat shield with little detail. For that reason, the 11-H is extremely difficult to grade. Smooth golden-olive surfaces exhibit myriad grade-consistent handling marks with a few planchet fissures that are mostly confined to the obverse. 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 @ $8.50; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $1,997.50.

    Descripción:
    1787 COPPER New Jersey Copper, No Sprig above Plow AU58 NGC. M. 6-D, W-5050, R.2. 148.2 grains. Dated 1787, Obverse die 6 was used in combination with reverse dies C and D. Reverse C is called the 'Pattern Shield' and was used with a small group of distinctive obverse dies that are considered pattern issues. Reverse D is a regular issue New Jersey reverse that appears only in this combination. This very late die state piece has a die break left of the shield point, with cracks extending to the border left and right. Last year the Colonial Coin Collectors Club and the American Numismatic Society co-published New Jersey State Coppers, by Roger S. Siboni, John L. Howes, and A. Buell Ish. This tome is the definitive reference on the series, and is available through the ANS website, Numismatics.org. The authors include a Condition Census for each variety, based on strict EAC grading standards. The Eric P. Newman coin fits nicely in the Condition Census that includes two Mint State and five AU coins. Side-by-side comparison may or may not reveal the exact order of the coins, although this piece is clearly the third finest known. Myriad tiny handling marks and pre-production planchet marks appear on both sides of this dark olive-brown example. The 6-D is rarely found with the level of detail seen here. This exceptional copper will be a wonderful addition to an advanced collection. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $10,575.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
