cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 04/21/2026 10:08 am Great purchase! Regarding the 1795 - I have an S-73 lettered edge and seem to remember that the planchet is thicker than the plain varieties. Can anyone confirm that?

cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 04/23/2026 10:07 am Following up on the discussion whether the Op's 1795 cent could be lettered edge. In case anyone is interested yes I was correct that the planchet is thicker and of course heavier. 13.48 grams vs 10.89 grams. However here's a tidbit from PCGS CoinFacts "Sheldon 76a is the last of the heavyweight Large Cents. Lighter version were made later in the year using the same dies -- these are known as S-76b. However, some of the heavyweight planchets bypassed the edge lettering process, thus we have a few S-76a's without edge lettering -- these are known as S-76a/b, they are generally considered to be mint errors, and they are not required in a complete die variety collection. To make things even more interesting, an S-76 exists with edge lettering on a thin planchet." Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win".
