Great day in the field, NJ state copper (close ups added)

Hi All,

Today I went to another new spot and did really well. Found 2 large cents (1 looks to be early) a couple of King George types, a really nice NJ state copper, an Indian head and some buttons. The two large buttons are pretty unique looking and the small reads W H I F of 76 & 34. Can someone help with id'ing that large copper disk with a stud? Hope to have more days like this one!

OK, the NJ copper is a 1787 Maris 6-C variety, nice find!
Here is an example on coinfacts site for comparison

Your button is great, that is your find of the day. Congressional Campaign of 1834 button Alberts list it as a PC 99, the one I posted is a PC 105 variety. Listed backmark on your type is Extra Rich

Thank you both! I being a scarce coin I have to ask "what is it worth"? Not that I would sell it, just to know

Don would know more than me. I sold my first NJ last year on Ebay, Mine was very common, but in better condition, for $125. Hope this helps.

Would really like to find a NJ copper, but I will live vicariously thru you right now. Very nice outing.
