benv New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 03/14/2020 1:36 pm Picked this up yesterday from my local dealer and figured I'd post it to the coin forums I frequent- it's definitely a Liberty Cap, but the date is pretty well destroyed. Any thoughts, or ways I may be able to identify it? Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/16/2020 09:26 am Start with what is the weight? I don't really see evidence of a lettered edge which would indicate it is a 95 or 96. There is almost a 2.5 gram weight difference between the letter edge and the plain edge coins so that would help to nail it down. It looks like LIBERTY may be down close to the hair which would make it a late 94 through 96. Report this Post to the Staff

benv New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 03/17/2020 3:19 pm Did some image comparisons with pictures of existing coins, it looks like there's a horizontal line running into the bust almost exactly where the 5 would be on a 1795. Between that and the weight/position of Liberty that Conder101 pointed out I think that I'm satisfied knowing that this is probably a 1795 Plain Edge. Not a particularly rare variety, but definitely a cool pickup from the cull pile. Report this Post to the Staff
