Wear & Strike Notes

Seated Liberty facing right with VIRT ET LIB legend and shield showing a rising sun

About This Coin

The 1787 Nova Eborac coppers represent a fascinating chapter of Confederation-era coinage, minted in New York just as the nation debated its constitutional future. These state-associated issues bridged the gap before a unified federal mint. The reverse features Liberty facing right with the VIRT ET LIB legend and a shield showing a rising sun, evoking the New York state arms.

Finding a Nova Eborac with this level of detail is a rare occurrence. These coppers were workhorse coins, typically struck on crude planchets and heavily circulated. At the PCGS XF45+ grade level, this survivor retains remarkable design definition in the figure of Liberty and the shield. It is a condition rarity for a series usually found flat and worn.

This piece offers a tangible connection to the early American republic, combining historical significance with a level of preservation that is difficult to replicate. It is a quiet cornerstone for a serious cabinet of colonial coinage.

Series History & Details
