well it depends a lot on the condition of the coin -- photo's of course are a must ---since we must see it to judge it.

as far as value goes (how much is it worth) theres a rough book value ( the rough "book" value to a collector of said items -- rarely gotten except in rare cases))-- then theres the what will some one actully give you for it today here and now (real world value --ie pawn broker prices)-- many times -- things are worth as as little as you will take for it --or as much as they will give for it -- a lot of how much a item goes for depends upon who is invovled in "the deal" and just how much the buyer wants the item and just how willing the seller is to part with it .

I am at work and don't have my red book with me to give you the price range, but as stated above, were need to see what condition it is in to be able to give an approximate grade and value to you. Great find though, I would love to find one in any condition!!!

Nice find....you may want to send a PM to Don from SJ. He is doing a distribution study on NJ Coppers and I'm sure he would love to hear from you. Don contributes so much to this forum that it would be nice to help him out.
