Better pics up - not great but better
I dont know much of anything about colonials. I looked in the redbook and it does not match any of the varieties. Thanks

This is a known die variety with unremarkable date numerals similar to those on many other colonials across all series.
Don’t get too excited until an expert in this area, which I am not, has confirmed it.

It's a 48-g, which is a rarity-1 and among the most common New Jerseys.

I stand corrected I look at the G, matched and then ended up with the X.
