3004: 1787 COPPER Immunis Columbia, Eagle Reverse, VF30
1787 COPPER Immunis Columbia, Eagle Reverse, VF30 PCGS. W-5680, High R.4. A very scarce variety credited to Matthias Ogden of the Rahway Mint in New Jersey. Pieces were likely struck for circulation circa 1789, given that at least four survivors were struck over Maris 26-S New Jersey coppers. Other die varieties are known, all of which are rare and bear earlier dates. The present midgrade example has few marks and exhibits moderately granular brick-red surfaces. Listed on page 57 of the 2021 Guide Book. HID03101062020 © 2020 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
