Coin Details
Description
A fascinating New Jersey copper variety showing an apparent 1787 over 1887 date. While a true overdate from 100 years in the future is impossible, the appearance is caused by die deterioration or recutting that creates the illusion of an "8" over the "7" in what read "1887." This is among the most curious varieties in the series.
Rarity Notes
Scarce. The apparent "overdate" makes this a curiosity piece.
