ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4420 Posts	Posted 07/13/2016 10:14 pm I picked up this early copper at a show and finally got around to taking a few pics. I'm suspecting it's a C-4, but I've erred on occasions in the past. I'm seeing it as a VG details piece and hope there are sufficient markers to determine the variety with confidence. Observations and opinions would be most appreciated! * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

I simply compared the obverse and reverse dies with pics of various 1794's. I can get some pics of the edge tomorrow, if needed. Edited by ExoGuy 07/14/2016 04:49 am Report this Post to the Staff
TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 07/14/2016 06:51 am There are two types of edge lettering, large and small. Small is normal for the variety, and large would make this coin worth $50,000. This is what large lettering looks like. I cannot find an image of small lettering for the life of me.

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4420 Posts	Posted 07/18/2016 09:26 am Well, at least we now have images of a small lettered edge on hand. Thanks for your interest, TypeCoin. Despite its' scudzy state, I do like the obverse detail. Report this Post to the Staff
