nj copper, 1918 silver half and a few things

[70monte68]

Hey all. just wanted to post yesterdays finds before I head out this morning. I know the site is old so when the half popped out I was a little disappointed with the date but, big silver is nice. Then came the large blow hole button and the last find was the toasted nj copper. Thanks for looking,

Don

You got that right.

Nice finds. Definitely some old stuff there. Maybe a recent hunter or farmer drop on the silver half?

Don, thought I would give attribution a shot on your NJ, I believe it might be reverse q, which makes it a 1787, there are two Obverses that go with the reverse q die, Maris 62 and Maris 63, both the same rarity, so even on odds, it could be either one. IF any detail can be seen on the horse head side, let me know, maybe I can see the difference and confirm a final attribution. Don

Nothing wrong with those finds bud. I know the pain of seeing big silver at a very old site and having it be modern. I pulled a 49 Washington quarter very close to where I pulled a 1787 Mass cent. But.......we are lucky to find any keepers my friend
