jerseyben Pillar of the Community United States 1211 Posts	Posted 06/30/2013 5:46 pm Although not at Baltimore, I recently picked up this 179x Draped Bust Large Cent. The date is not entirely clear but based on the Style 2 hair on the obverse, that would make this a 1798 or 1799 large cent. From here, I am lost. Is anyone up to the challenge of attribution? Conder, this one's for you... Report this Post to the Staff

Look at the E in UNITED, then draw your gaze in a curve, down and to the right, to the base of the lowest leaves on the left side of the wreath, and the stem end below them...
