Beefer518 Pillar of the Community United States 887 Posts	Posted 10/01/2017 12:17 am Picked this up with a Nova Constellatio and a Connecticut copper. This one has an illegible date, and I can't match it to any on coinfacts. Only thing I've been able to determine is that it is a narrow shield and curved plough beam, so that should be an '86 or an '87. But I can't match it to any out there, so I can;t even be sure of the date. Any help would be awesome! Report this Post to the Staff

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 10/01/2017 3:39 pm I think it is a 1786 23-P, don't have a reference handy to verify though. May be able to check later if no one else does. Report this Post to the Staff

I think I was using the PCGS version of coinfacts, and it doesn't have the 23-P that I can find. Thanks a ton, and l.cutler is correct in his guess. Thanks to both of you!

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 10/02/2017 09:00 am I'll second the Michael Demling book, I think it is excellent. He also has one on the Massachusetts pieces as well. I don't have that one (yet) but I would expect it to be a winner as well. Edited by Conder101 10/02/2017 09:02 am Report this Post to the Staff
jerseyben Pillar of the Community United States 1211 Posts	Posted 10/03/2017 08:00 am The MASS book is the same as the NJ book, only for the MASS series (obviously). I would certainly own it except I do not collect that type of coin. I know the author well... Great guy! Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 10/03/2017 1:07 pm I don't collect either one, but I have the NJ book and I'm getting the MA book. I have a LOT of books on series that I don't collect. The information is always good to have. Report this Post to the Staff
