Very nice coin. If you could scan it in, both the front and back, we could tell you what type it is.

Re: 1st New Jersey Copper She's A Beauty.
WOW!!!!
I am still waiting to find my first! Value = $200 to $1000. Get that sucker appraised!!!
From the Colonial Coin Website http://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/ColCoinText/NJ-Copper.4.html:
Comments: This is another example of a coin produced by Mould at Morristown, where they used a larger sized planchet than at the Rahway mint. According to Hodder this variety typically has a weak strike at the high points on the horse's head and at the center of the shield. The example presented here is pitted and porous.
Obverse 63 was joined with reverses q, r and s. It is one of four large planchet obverse in which there are three leaves between the horse and the plow (this group includes obverses 60, 61, 62 and 63). This unusual feature is also found on some smaller planchet varieties as obverses 40, 70, 71 and 72. The only other variety found with reverse r is obverse 62. Obverse 63 can be distinguished from 62 in that 62 had a stop at the end of the obverse legend while there no stop on obverse 63; also in obverse 62 the plow handles are of equal length while in obverse 63 the right handle is longer.
Reverse r is distinguished by the long shield with sprigs underneath. Also, it is the only large planchet variety where the left shield point (dexter point) is aligned with the letter R in the legend. Additionally, the upper portion of the shield with the horizontal lines, known as the chief azure, is rather small only descending to the area opposite the letter L in the legend. The vertical lines on the shield, known as pales, are grouped in four (some varieties have groups of three) although they are not visible on this example.
Provenance: From the Robert H. Gore, Jr. Numismatic Collection.
