1787 New Jersey Copper colonial M64-t W5380 R1 NGC F15 CHOICE Long Island Collection

1787 New Jersey 1/2p, M64-t, W5380, No Sprig Above Plow, R1.  This coin has been authenticated and graded by NGC as F15, and I consider this as PLUS PLUS which means dang close to Choice!  GORGEOUS cameo color with dark chocolate fields and peanut butter brown highpoints, such an excellent contrast.  The details are VERY bold, and this certainly looks like at least VF20 to me: consider the definition in the horse's hair, the shield, and the depth of the date, for example.  Anyway, this is a wonderful example for this grade.  Purchased from CVM at EAC St. Louis on 05/15/22, and since the holder reads "Long Island Collection," I believe Chris purchased this coin from Heritage on 04/18/22 lot 44408 at $552.
