1788 New Jersey copper 1/2p M50-f W5475 R3 Head Left VG10 CAC CHOICE!

1788 New Jersey 1/2p, M50-f, W5475, Head Left, R3.  Authenticated and graded by PCGS as VG10, and CAC-certified as CHOICE for the assigned grade.  This variety almost always comes DARK, so this is a wonderful exception that is glossy milk chocolate brown with great eye appeal.  Solid details for the grade with only a few scattered nicks that certainly match the VG10 level of preservation.  Although I would love to have a higher-grade coin in my collection, this one is so exceptionally good-looking that I have passed on higher-graded PCGS coins that were not this attractive.  I purchased this as a duplicate from the Al Boka collection on 09/17/22.
