***Auction Highlight*** 1787 New Jersey Maris 31-L R-3 Colonial Cent 1c Graded xf40 By SEGS. ??1787 New Jersey copper. Maris 31-L. Rarity-3. Outlined Shield. An exciting example from this die marriage, struck from the shattered state of the dies, Die State 4. The central obverse is now entirely bucked, and the horizontal crack from E of CAESAREA across the horsehead to near O of NOVA is the least of this die’s problems. The crack from the base of the horsehead device through the plow is so severe that the areas of the die face on either side are now on two different planes. Another curved crack from E of CAESAREA arcs upward to the snout, and a severe crack from the rim below N of NOVA extends up to the central obverse with force. A lighter crack, nearly parallel to that one, extends from the end of the plow handles to the left side of the scroll under the horsehead. The die could not have withstood the pressure of striking coppers much beyond this point. This specimen is chocolate brown, mostly smooth and appealing, with no notable problems. The both the obverse and reverse are very well centered and most of the denticles are visible. This is not Condition Census for the die variety but it may be for this visually impressive terminal die state. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin
