1787 COPPER New Jersey "Whatsit," No Sprig above Plow Uncertified. M. 48-g, W-5275, R.1. 132.7 grains.

The obverse of this example has been artistically re-engraved to strengthen existing detail and create new detail.

1787 COPPER New Jersey Copper, No Sprig above Plow Good Details, Damaged NGC. M. 48-g, W-5275, R.1. 114.2 grains. Eric P. Newman describes this piece on his envelope as a circulated cast counterfeit. However, NGC holds the opinion that this piece is genuine. An interesting study piece for the specialist, as there appears to be a heavy die break in front of the horse's neck, but no such die state listing. That feature may be a result of the overall condition of this piece. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $940.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
