Although my colonial site is producing fewer and fewer finds lately, i've found now my 8th colonial coin with this, my 2nd New Jersey Copper.
The style looks the same to me and I think it's a 1788. I'm hopeful there will be a few more coins found at the site, and other finds too,
once I can get into the parts of the site that are currently too densely overgrown. Enjoy the Hunt, everyone!

That's pretty cool. It's a variety known as the Running Fox, M.77-dd, Type III. Is also known as a M.78-dd. I have one in my own collection, photo below.

Congratulations on your second NJ copper! The M.77-ddIII is one of my own personal best NJ copper finds for condition. I will add your coin to the survey, same county as your first one, hope more are in your future. This will be the 7th ground found one of this variety and die state reported found, including mine (photo attch'd) Don
