    Hello. I'd really like to find out about a coin I bought recently. The temporary case mentions that it is "Colonial Era 1700's and was Dug from the ground in New Jersey." The coin is so old and worn, that the only thing I can see on the coin is a person on the front (WHICH I LABELED WITH A YELLOW CIRCLE). I can see faint writing on the back. Do you have any information about this coin and maybe a link to image of this coin in good condition so I can see what it looks like. Thanks. Sorry I don't have any better pictures but the coin is in poor condition anyway.

    Could you get a large picture of the reverse? Toad should come along and he might know the answer ;)

    Knowing its thickness and diameter and weight would be helpful, since I can't make out anything. ;) Then maybe, just maybe, I might be able to figure out something that fits. :D

    Ribbit :)

    Ok. The coin has a diameter of 1 and 1/16th of an inch. I don't have precise measuring instruments but my coin is the same thickness as a penny- with the same flat edge. If this isn't enough information, I can include a larger photo of the reverse. Thanks
