NJ copper type?

[sagittarius98]

I have this NJ copper, looks to be 1786. Is this coin too far gone or can the variety be attributed? Want to know if it's a common type or a rarer variety.

Someone knowledgeable of the New Jersey Coppers and with the references, might be able to match a specific Obverse Die to the details left on the Obverse of your' coin. The Reverse would be much more difficult but if a Die Variety is determined, it is highly likely that there was only one Reverse Die matched to the Variety and no other possibilities.

I managed to identify it as Maris 17-b which is a scarcer type.

Good WORK. How did you get that ID from that worn out coin?
