awesome coppers!, id love to find a state copper!

 

[Old Dude]

Anymore, I'd almost rather NOT find clad. It seems like a waste of time digging. It's going to be hard beating that hunt.

 

[Loco-Digger]

Finding 1 of those would be an awesome hunt, but 3... That's off the chart. Congrats on the great hunt. Bet it was hard to sleep.

That's a great hunt. Pm Don in SJ and he will tell you what variety the NJ is. He's keeps a census and is the go to guy for NJ coppers as well as all other coins.

Man you're killing that place. Congrats

Good thing there were some people with holes in their pockets back in the 1700's !

Keep pounding that place

Congratulations on finding three 1700's on one hunt, your site is a good one for sure! Your NJ copper is a 1787 Maris 43-d variety, the most common variety made. It is the 58th reported ground found in my survey, by far the most common of all the varieties.. (My son just found a 43-d about two weeks ago) Please PM me the county found in Pa. I am originally from Berks. Don Maris 43-d New Jersey Copper

Nice finds. Love finding NJ's. It's a bit unusual to find 3 KG III's. More often I see the KG II's. Most of the KG III's I've seen come out of the ground are counterfeits of the period and occasionally a Machin's Mills piece. Shame there isn't a bit more detail. I also agree with Don SJ that the M.43-d is probably the most common NJ variety both coming out of the ground as well as those in collections.
