Looks like a draped bust to me, Mainly due to the wreath touching the "T" in Cent as I dont see the flowing hair / liberty cap reverses having that distinct detail. Although weight would determine what it is as a 1793 cent weighs 13.48 Grams & a draped bust weighs 10.89 grams.
I've only been collecting for a couple years (2017). Favorite Coin's are Standing Liberty quarters, Working on my type set: "knowledge is power" -Thomas Jefferson |

Definitely not, just look at the distance of Cent from the bow at the bottom of the wreath, way off from NC3. That is so obviously a draped bust. Just look at the bow on the reverse, a 1793 wreath has one "loop" at the top of the bow, draped bust cents have the double loop as seen on this coin.

You're missing one big piece to the puzzle. How can this be a 1793 flowing hair if this is a draped bust? Please listen to the people who are identifying your coins. No more pictures needed.

I think the mystery is solved. Draped bust reverse, correct weight for a draped bust..... I had to try it, I just weighed a very similar condition draped bust, I got 10.21

Tell you what show me an obverse to match this one on a bust and I'll give in but I'm betting you can't.

OK, look at the hairline at the top of the forehead on a draped bust large cent. See that curl of hair that protrudes forward from the head? Now look at the top of the forehead on the flowing hair cent, the forehead sweeps into the hair with no protrusion. Look at your coin, there is the hair protrusion of the draped bust! As far as matching it to a specific variety, it is in such low grade and there are so many draped but varieties! Maybe with the coin in hand it would be possible to match the variety if there are a few pickup points left, but definitely not form these pictures. You can do additional research to try to match the draped bust year and variety but for now it is just an unidentified draped bust cent. With all due respect, if you are going to try to identify low grade coins, you need to focus on what the coin is, and not what you want it to be. Good luck.

I can respect that though I won't agree I can respect and won't take this one any further as I know it would do nothing to change the mine of either
