Publisher's Synopsis
From the end of the American Revolutionary War in 1783, until the central mint was founded in 1792, many states minted their own coinage. Damon G Douglas began researching some of these early coins, but his New Jersey manuscript was far from finished when he abandoned it. Nonetheless, it remains an important source of information on New Jersey copper coinage of 1786-1789. In the interests of making this work more widely available to those wishing to study it, the American Numismatic Society has published this study for the first time. It has been annotated by modern-day specialists in order to bring the work up to date.
