grading and opinions are welcome. I believe this is a head of 95.   |

Nice coin. Send it in for grading and you will get no higher than aG-3. I suspect that the price is lowered because of the corrosion spots and scratches. View this for value: http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/Nu...ty-cap-cents I would say anywhere near $300 for yours. A dealer would pay you 1/2 of these values if you sold it to them. Nice Coin! |

With a reverse like this, a TPG would without a doubt, give your coin AG3. Even with a G4-G6 obverse, the reverse is taken into account bigtime. swcoin.ecrater.com

 AG3 and a bit pourous surfaces. Still a mighty fine coin for a type collection! "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

Sheldon-24, which is actually a head of 1794 variety. I like it!

thanks philadelphian for the clarification. to me the hooked lock of hair was what I thought distinguished it as a head of 95 but it was hard to tell due to the wear. was there something else that you saw to determine it is a 94?

The hair is the key to these; the hair pattern is as unique as a UPC bar code. I just eyeball the hair of known varieties and compare. I actually find it easier to pin down a specific die variety that way than to try to place it in a more general "Head Of..." group.
