1787 New Jersey Maris 42-c R5+ PLURIRUS Error VG10

Recolored glossy light olive and steel brown. The surfaces are smooth and the only marks are some hairline scratches on the obverse, only a few visible to the unaided eye. LDS with obvious swelling on the obverse and a die crack down through the second 7. May have been double struck as there appears to be undertype at PLU. Struck slightly off center to the top. In this marriage the PLURIRUS error is not as obvious because this was an early use of the reverse die and the bottom of the "B" is still faintly visible. Far superior to the late die state example in the famous Griffee collection of New Jersey coppers. Weight 149.0 grains.
