Do any 1794 large cents with Head of "94 or Head of '95 have a lettered edge w/single leaf? In other words, can I identify a corroded, worn 1794 Head of '93 coin by its edge alone? Thanks!

It might time. I didn't want you to think that this was being ignored. -MV Report this Post to the Staff

They all do. Quote: can I identify a corroded, worn 1794 Head of '93 coin by its edge alone? I do not believe you can. Both varieties, leaf down (a) and leaf up (b) were used. edited for clarification. Edited by amida17 08/13/2015 9:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 08/14/2015 02:07 am I believe all of the 1794 cents have a single leaf on the edge. (I'm going from memory here) And the Jefferson head is a 1795 not 1794. Easiest way to spot a 94, head of 93 (if it is visible) is to look at the junction of hair and forehead compared to the TY of LIBERTY. If it is centered between the T and Y it's a head of 93. (LIBERTY will also be well away from the bust. That is seen on the heads of 93 and the heads of 94 through S-44. The heads of 94 after S-44 and the heads of 95 have LIBERTY down close to the bust) None of the heads of 94 or 95 have it further right than slightly right of the right foot of the T.
