1787 New Jersey Copper, buttons, 1947 nickles

[Tony12100]

Was so nice to get out and dig. I started out on the South Jersey Shore and spent a few hours there. The only thing dug there was the 2 1947 nickles. On the way home I stopped at my favorite colonial era ghost towns. Dug the Jersey copper in just a few min of getting there. The buttons followed shorty there after. Welcome back Spring! Thanks for looking.

Way to go Tony, appreciate the info on your NJ copper, it is a 1787 Maris 34-J variety, love the condition of coppers from my home county! Very nice shape. This is the one variety where the horse looks more like a Deer! Rarity 3, Scarce. It is the 7th one reported found to me in my survey, out of over 700 coins. 1787 New Jersey Copper - Maris 34-J Disregard coinfacts rarity of Common, current rating is Rarity 3 which is Scarce. I forgot to add, that the M.34-J was struck over a variety of other coppers, but yours appears to have been struck on a blank planchet, but would not hurt to look hard with a magnifier to see if you see any evidence of other letters/design. One study showed 10 out of 27 of them were struck over other coppers..... Don
