1786 COPPER New Jersey Copper, Curved Beam, Narrow Sh 1786 [COPPER] New Jersey Copper, Curved Beam,
<B>1786 <COPPER> New Jersey Copper, Curved Beam, Narrow Shield MS63 Brown NGC.</B></I> M. 21-P, R.5. A variety that is promptly identified by the curved plow beam and a mint-made die break that swells on the reverse border at 7 o'clock. The 6 in the date is recut. Powder-blue and chestnut colors enliven this splendidly detailed example. Die polish lines, seldom visible on the usually worn state coppers, are noted in the obverse field below the R in CAESAREA. The centers have slight weakness, as is characteristic of the series, but the horse's mane and eye, the plow, and the horizontal shield lines are exquisitely rendered. There are a couple of minute and fully retained laminations below OV in NOVA, but the surfaces are virtually free from contact. Listed on page 66 of the 2006 <I>Guide Book.</B></I>
