Lot Title: Four Colonials: One 1786 New Jersey, two 1787 New Jersey, and a Massachusetts 1/2 cent
Lot Number: 534
Description: The War Chest Collection. Redbook colonial issues make an appearance and comprise popular types. The Massachusetts 1787 half-cent is the only example of the denomination included, and it appears to have a fair amount of PVC residue over the Fine or so sharpness. A trio of New Jersey coppers includes: 1786 "curved plow" (VG or so, but nearly dateless due to off-centering, and good mahogany color), 1787 "camel head" (VF-35 in the cataloger's opinion, and would be XF were the date fully placed upon the flan), and 1787 "sprig above plow" (VG if not a bit better, with a terrific, choice Hershey-brown planchet). Four coin lot.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
