1787 NJERSY New Jersey Copper, No Sprig Above Plow, Maris 48-g, W-5275, R.1, XF45 NGC. Die alignment: 180?. A fairly bold strike has given this piece strong detail.

A smaller die crack has started above the M of UNUM. Listed on page 72 of the 2018 Guide Book. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
