- 1787 1/2 C Massachusetts Half Cent MS64 Brown NGC. R. 5-A, W-5960, R.3. The 1787 Massachusetts half cent series combined six obverse dies and four reverse dies to create nine varieties. Those varieties can be classified as common (Ryder 4-C and 5-A), scarce (1-D, 2-A, and 4-B), rare (3-A, 6-A, and 6-D), and extremely rare (4-D). Of the two common varieties, the 5-A offered here is seen with about half the frequency of 4-C. We recently conducted a limited review of Massachusetts copper coinage, noting 61 examples of this die marriage from a total survey of 317 1787-dated half cents. This example has satiny dark chocolate and olive-brown surfaces with traces of verdigris on the obverse, but no other imperfections of note on either side. The strike is typical of the variety and the series, with weak details at the center of the obverse, especially at the right half of the tunic. Traces of lighter gold appear at the upper reverse, faded from original mint red. Several Mint State examples of this variety are known, and the Newman coin is probably among the top 20. 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 @ $15.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

- 1788 COPPER New Jersey Copper, Running Fox before Legend MS65 Brown NGC. M. 77-dd, W-5535, R.2. 138.9 grains. Eric P. Newman's envelope notes that his piece is "From the Jackson [sic]-Green Collection." There are five different varieties of Running Fox coppers, and the last has three distinct die states, each with a separate census. For all the varieties combined, there are two Mint State coins and seven AU examples recorded. This and the other Mint State piece are each noted as "unverified" in the New Jersey State Coppers census. We are confident that this example from the Eric P. Newman Collection is the finest existing Running Fox copper. The Newman coin appeared in the 1918 Henry Chapman sale of the Allison W. Jackman Collection: {blockquote}"1788 Cent. Small head to horse. R as last. Uncirculated. Even, sharp brilliant impression. Light olive with some of the original red still showing. Very slight dent on edge, hardly showing. A wonderful specimen and the finest. I believe unique in this condition, rare in any and when found at all it is usually of a very dark color but here is a gem that will delight the most fastidious collector and be a joy forever to him. Plate. M. 77-dd."{/blockquote} Although little border detail is evident, the strike is nicely centered and bold, with the brushed mane of the horse fully detailed. A short die crack or defect extends in from the border through the letter C. Minor clash marks are noted on both sides of this Gem. The surfaces are smooth and glossy olive-brown, showing faint bluish overtones. Considerable faded mint red remains visible on both sides, primarily through the letters. The only mark of note is a trivial obverse rim bruise at 9 o'clock, and that feature enabled plate matching with the Jackman coin. This is an extraordinary Running Fox copper that is destined for an advanced specialized collection. Ex: Allison W. Jackman Collection (Henry Chapman, 6/1918), lot 172; "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 @ $90.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $105,750.00.

- 1788 COPPER New Jersey Copper, Running Fox before Legend VF25 NGC. M. 77-dd, W-5535, R.2. 146.6 grains. The late die state of Maris 77-dd, and for decades known as 78-dd. Both dies exhibit significant straight-line damage, and on the struck coin the orientation of that damage is perfectly aligned, suggesting that something was in the press when it cycled. Buell Ish, co-author of New Jersey State Coppers, suggests that a steel bar was the object. Likely as hard as the actual dies, that object created the straight-line damage that resembles die cracks. The pleasing light olive surfaces of this example show trivial blemishes with faint blue overtones on the obverse and considerable blue-green and lavender toning 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 @ $5.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $1,645.00.

- 1788 COPPER New Jersey Copper, Running Fox before Legend VF25 NGC. M. 77-dd, W-5535, R.2. 148.2 grains. An early die state of the Running Fox copper, showing no evidence of the middle state clash marks or the late state die damage. This lovely copper will make an excellent choice for the Guide Book collector who seeks the highly popular variety. The nickname is universal today, although that was not always the case. In the late 1800s, Sylvester S. Crosby and Dr. Edward Maris, who often disagreed on colonial coinage matters, actually agreed that the animal on the reverse is a small horse. Today, students of the New Jersey series such as Roger Siboni, John Howes, and Buell Ish, speculate that the Running Fox coppers were minted by James Bailey of New York City, under contract with one of the authorized New Jersey coiners. This pleasing piece has subdued or non-glossy light olive surfaces with hints of pale blue overtones. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $2,585.00.

- 1788 COPPER New Jersey Copper, Running Fox before Legend XF45 NGC. M. 75-bb, W-5520, R.4. 149.7 grains. The obverse die was apparently damaged before being placed in the coining press for the first time. All known examples have various stages of die damage, including the arc-shaped die break at the lower left, and the crack through VA and the quatrefoil to the C. Both have formed retained cuds. The reverse has a narrow rim break over UNU. The smooth surfaces of this ebony and olive copper show trivial rim bruises but no other imperfections. The Condition Census extends to XF, although the exact rank of the Newman coin remains undetermined. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $8,225.00.

- 1787 COPPER New Jersey Copper, Sprig above Plow, Struck over 1788 Connecticut Miller 14.1-L.2, Fine 15 NGC. M. 72-z, W-5420, R.5. 109.6 grains. Eric P. Newman identified the undertype variety that is rated R.6, while the New Jersey variety is R.5. Substantial undertype is visible on each side, including the 1788 date (upside down) at the top of the obverse. The reverse clearly shows AUC and CONNEC. The smooth surfaces show attractively intermingled olive, tan, and maroon colors. This piece appears finer than the NGC grade and is likely at the low end of the Condition Census. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $8,225.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
