1786 New Jersey Maris 21-P R5 F15

Ten points sharper but there are some contact marks including a scrape through the plow handles, a couple more on the shield, a scratch on the upper part of the shield, and a dull scratch at the bottom of the L in PLURIBUS. The marks on the lower part of the shield looks like they may be from another shield from an earlier strike. The reverse does show clear doubling with a slight clockwise shift between impressions. Glossy light chocolate with lighter brown toning on the devices. The date and legends are strong. Later die state with swelling on the obverse and cud breaks at the lower left part of the reverse. Comes with a nice provenance. Weight 153.7 grains.
