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!
