I think your right Don just googled, you can make out the horse on reverse of coin. Just quickly browsed 1787 maybe only seems to be the one variant too. I will keep looking. Thanks again  😀

Not yet. I’ve been out town for a conference and then immediately started traveling for Thanksgiving. I can’t wait to see them in hand though! 

I recognized the reverse. Can’t say I will be any help with figuring out the variety.

There are a lot of varieties of 1787 New Jerseys.  Once you are able to get better pictures we can probably tell you more.

Im not even sure on the exact date either so you think its a 1786 ? Am I right in thinking its either 1786,1787 or 1788?  I suppose I need to find out the exact variety before anyone could give me a rough estimate to value of this coin ? As I've noticed some a a lot rarer than others.

After getting my magnifying glass out I can see  7 at the ending of date so its a 1787 defo. I've also noticed some key points that would help identify this which are as follows

 

1. horizontal nasal 
2. eye is defined
3. ears are defined and big
4. bristle hair 
5. long curvature to neck
6. there is clearly noticeable mouth outline also horizontal with small lower mouth ( some varieties have no mouth, or sloped )
7. below horse is a waved line 
8. Shield is outlined 

I believe its one of the outlined shield varieties I have only found pictures for MARIS 46-e, I dont know what the 3 other varieties look like Hopefully this will help

I am looking at your pics on my phone, so that makes it a bit harder to tell, but I  think 46-e is correct. I would definitely wait for Conder101 or someone else more knowledgeable than I am to confirm that, though. 

Bowers lists  that one as a URS-12, 1000-1999 known, by the way.

I can also notice the cow plough is more of a level top straight across the horizon.

The plough also has very rectangular angles. Lots of 90 degree corners and square edges.  This is another point worthy of noticing when considering what variety it is as others have different shape plough’s.

If you also drew a line through the plough crossover intersection directly up the coin. You would also see this intersection is towards the right side of the horse directly under the mouth. This also only happens on a few varieties

Hi condor, 

I have updated new photos Maria 46-e possible my opinion or any the outlined shield. Only thing keeping me second guessing is long curved neck. Is that serpent head? I’m not sure it has enough angle for serpent head. 

 

I would really appreciate your take please

If I can I'll take a look but I may not have the time for a serous look until Wed.
