Sleaklight Pillar of the Community United States 827 Posts	Posted 05/02/2007 02:32 am Ok so I have a 1938 Large Cent on ebay. I am a newbie at coins and did not know there was a difference on Coronet, Matron and Classic till I saw the listings on the side menu here. Soo after taking a look, I am still unsure which one I have. I listed my ebay listing as Coronet but I am afraid I am wrong hence the zero bids on it. Here are scans of the obverse and reverse. Can you please help me identify this so I can correct my ebay auction title and description? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

TreasHunt Pillar of the Community United States 2540 Posts	Posted 05/02/2007 08:08 am The 1838 is the modified bust of the Matron Head. (1837-1839) I suggest that you should pick up a Red Book (Guide Book of US coins). It is an excellent reference, especially for identifying type coins. Report this Post to the Staff
