Good afternoon,
I have a coin that I believe looks identical to the one you sold for over $105,000. It even looks like it may be in a little better condition, although it's hard to tell from the photo. I have searched throughout the Internet trying to locate other coins that look like mine but the design of the plow was always different as well as the orientation of the horse and the width of the shield. But the photo of yours matches. My local coin dealer said he could not help me as he does not deal in Post Colonial coins. Do you have any recommendations on how I can verify it's authenticity and value?

There are many varieties of the New Jersey Plow coppers. Post a picture here and we can better research the exact variety you have...hopefully.

Third post pictures here so we can tell you if the TPG blew the attribution like they frequently do.  Also as to why it was listed on ebay, you will note in the pictures in the link in the OP that PCGS didn't attribute the coin. They just indicated that it was one of the bridle varieties which is really foolish since two of the four bridle varieties are rare, one is EXTREMELY RARE, and the last is VERY common. This one was not fully identified and I believe it was put up on ebay with no other attribution. The specialists discovered it there, it made the news and took off. Edited by Conder101

Sorry I took so long, but here are a couple pics of the coin. I hope they have a good enough resolution so you can tell which coin it is.   |

Can you do a better close-up on the coin please. The coin would be much easier to identify.

I'll try taking better pictures of it with my camera, but that won't be until later tonight. Thanks for looking though!

Take it out of the holder and take a closeup against a flat grey or black background. No scans.

And crop away the excess part of the picture so you are just showing the coin. It can post larger that way.

After looking over the pictures he provided and the Maris plates in the Notre Dame University collection I would say that it IS obv 18, but it is definitely not Rev L. Rev L has a narrow shield. So that leave Rev's J, N, and M. On rev J and N if you extend the bottom of the horizontal lines to the right it would meet the center of the bottom of the second you in UNUM. That doesn't match his coin. On rev M that extension would pass just to the left of the U. That does match his coin. So I would say he has a New Jersey 18M, It is the only common one of the Bridle varieties.

It appears that you have already identified the coin, but here are better photos just in case.   |

The Notre Dame plates are a great resource.

Thanks for the better pictures. Definitely 18M. It may be common but that is still a VERY nice NJ copper!
