A short hunt before getting rained out at my virgin colonial site yielded my 6th colonial coin. This time it's a New Jersey copper.
The date was easily visible a 1786. I know there are several varieties of this coin, but I don't know the differences so any comments on it
would be welcomed. E Pluribus Unum on front with shield, Horsehead/plow with Nova Caesarea on obverse. I also found a reale, but it's severely worn. I'll take it, though!:headbang: Oh, The reale is dime-size. HH and Thanks

Seems the Jersey coppers are jumping out of the ground lately. Congrats on digging one... and Spanish silver as well. Sweet!
