kaylamarie651 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/05/2012 02:49 am Hi, I am super puzzled about a coin I have. Originally, I thought it was a 1795 plain edge large cent, liberty cap. The place where the cap was, is super worn off but the eyes, nose, and a little bit of the hair still has great detail. The date is legible except the last number. If you hold it under direct light, you can clearly see the 5 in 1795. However, the hair is not flowing. The hair is that of a draped bust. There are no stars, just like a 1795. However, that hair wasn't introduced until 1796. The small part of the cap/bow that is still visible, looks like it could be either one. I don't understand how it could have tributes of two different dates and coins. Please help me find out what I have! Report this Post to the Staff

kaylamarie651 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/27/2012 2:20 pm I finally figured out how to upload pics! Sorry for the delay. The pics colors have been edited to get the best view possible. My camera isn't the best, so these images are a little more clear to the naked eye. In this one, I put the '5' from a 1795 liberty cap next to it for comparison. If you were to rotate it a bit, you'd see what I mean. Report this Post to the Staff
