Well the New Jersey is a Maris 6-D which is a common variety.
It looks to me like an early 19th century George III halfpenny or penny depending on the size.
A little time spent identifying it to variety would be well spent. Some varieties are quite rare. There are in the neighborhood of 350 varieties...
