Now this is the kind of guess that we are all looking for.

No, it is not an 1837 Head of 1838 Large cent.

That's what I get for giving pictorial hints.


You are a true sportsman and gentleman for giving hints.
As far as I can tell, your pictorial hints still left us with myriad options, including:
- the silver 3 cent, which has stars and a curvy bit on the C like photo 1
- the Shield nickel, which I was absolutely certain was correct, as it is such an obscure type (though ... as mentioned previously, my initial hunches are often wrong)
- multiple types of cents and Half Cents

Not to mention all the types where Canadian maple leafs look like six-pointed stars.

Greasy, just make sure your digging reflects the accumulated knowledge to this point ... @keith has determined it's a Matron Head large cent.

LOL. I am still here. Learning from the masters. (AKA, I have been busy with school and stuff, and therefore haven't been on until now)
Was it minted after 1820?

Oh. Never mind. Alright, 4 years left, I retract my previous question and replace it with: was it minted after 1818?
