<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mac266, post: 2944549, member: 26371&quot;]I was in Estes Park, CO yesterday with my family and stopped at an antique / coin / stamp / gun dealer on a whim.&nbsp; I came home with this 1787 New Jersey colonial cent.&nbsp; I&#039;m no EAC expert, but I&#039;m attributing this as a Maris-37J.&nbsp; The 37 observes is easy to see with the &quot;goiter&quot; below the horse&#039;s neck.&nbsp; The J reverse was a little more difficult, especially since the &quot;M&quot; is no longer clearly visible.&nbsp; However, I used the shape of the shield from the known reverses paired with the 37 obverse and found the one that has the same odd shape. </p><p><br /></p><p>The owner thought it was a &quot;PluKibus&quot; variety.&nbsp; However, even a cursory glance shows that to be damage near the rim in which the top of the R was smashed flat.&nbsp; The R still closes at the top; hence, it is not a K.&nbsp; Additionally, according to my book, the PluKibus reverse is never known to have been paired with the Maris-37 (goiter) obverse.&nbsp; The goiter is readily apparent even in this condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>How do you EAC experts feel I did?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
