1794 Flowing Hair Cent

1794 Flowing Hair cent
I'll start by accepting my complete ignorance of the series and I have no images (but might be able to get some).

Is there any reason an authentic 1794 flowing hair cent might not be worth $100.00?

There is a local shop selling one that the date is legible (barely) with X's and diamonds scratched into it.

I'm interested in it only from a historical perspective as our family had an old homestead from Maine built in 1794. Lots of stuff handed down but have been looking at getting one and a beat-up one would fit in pretty well with my family. LOL

Thanks for any insight.

EDIT: While looking at images online I noticed some "caps" were closer to the L (LIBERTY) than others. Is this a sign of different varieties or fakes?

This definitely looks to be a cleaned coin.

The dirt around the 6 of the date and "U" (TRUST) makes me think this was found with a metal detector and then rigorously cleaned with a cleaner to get it "shiny", and it has toned this color.

Welcome. They do grab our attention, especially when some devices go over the "edge".

Some nice images that show a reduced diameter as well.

I agree completely.

The buyer should be knowledgeable enough to know what they are purchasing, as long as the listing didn't misrepresent the coin.

Thank you Commems.
Very interesting thread and piece of history.

Would love to have a permission to metal detect around there. No telling how interesting the finds might be.

I'm with Icutler. We'll need a little more input to give you some "output".

BTW- Both images are the same. Maybe you meant to post a reverse as well?

I'm with Dearborn (especially after looking over Datadragons info).
I didn't realize there were composition anomalies for the year.

Another possible test might be an XRF scan to determine the metallic content of the quarter. (I have a pawn shop do my questionable coins or metal detecting finds.)

Thanks for looking everyone and especially those that added a little commentary.

Same here. I had to dig it out of the re-roll pile to get some images.

Would be a good addition to my Dansco containing the most interesting damaged cents.

Send me a pm or email and I'll excavate it and send it along. Gald someone can utilize it.

One of the things that prompted me to post the images was because this shows what blisters can look like under the copper plating. (There are some examples of the bumps still covered by copper SE of the chin.)

Most of the time, I think of blisters simply as missing zinc.

Excellent pick.
That is so strong on the reverse that the bottom right corners of the E(ONE) have "rounding". Usually, it is just the top of the E that shows extra thickness.

The Walking Dead (1994P Lincoln Cent)
I don't think I've watched the movie/series but I've seen enough clips of it and this could have been a token from the movie.

This damaged cent was just odd enough to grab my attention.

Another scenario I've heard of involves heat first and then dry ice or liquid nitrogen. The quick cooling supposedly causes the surface to crack.

I've never tried this though.
