told me it was a washer Perhaps in between being used as a coin and finding its way into the bargain bin, it spent some time as a washer. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

You're very close, it's a 48-g for sure. 48 is the obverse die, g is the reverse die with a lower case g, upper case G is a totally different die.

You just have to love the New Jersey coppers! I got my first one as a young teenager in the early 70's, a 1788 67-v, I still have it!

lcutler, admittedly, I was unfamiliar with the type before finding this one. I've yet to see one at any shows, either. They certainly are a fascinating piece of history! Very nice that you've managed to hold on to yours |

At one point I was starting to collect New Jersey coppers by die variety but it just became too costly. I ended up trying to get most of the major types, I have about thirty I believe.
