New Jersey copper

[Joe-Dirt]

Found this deeeeeeeeep at my 1750’s permission, couldn’t see much when I popped it so I tried the olive oil technique which worked pretty good. 1786 from I can figure

I guess it was, never thought I’d dig one in Massachusetts. Have fun with the grandkids, I’ll try to line something up with you this weekend, weather should be good. Me and 2 buddies are headed out shortly.

Joe, you are correct about your NJ being a 1786! I spent some time trying to get the variety today, after getting it verified from another NJ expert, your coin is a 1786 Maris 24R variety. Rarity 6!! For a NJ copper that is hard to get one, in fact out of over 11 coins in the NJ survey your coin is the first one of that variety!! A shame on the condition, but still a great find. Could you please either say here of PM me the State and County found in for the NJ survey I have been doing since 2004........... Rarity 6 = Very Rare Don
