dunkleosteus430 Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 06/15/2022 2:50 pm I agree with everybody here -- first of all, the bust on your coin is facing right, not left as you claim. It is a woman's portrait. No date can be read. There are no inscriptions of "GWPT." If it was a male portrait facing left, why is there details of a face on the back of his head? That's creepy. I've come to the conclusion that this is definitely a draped bust cent, worth less than $75 regardless of the date. It just has terrible corrosion. You seem to be referring to the extremely rare white metal birch cent, as none with "GWPT" were struck in copper (hint!) I've included images of that coin and a picture of a coin similar to yours, in much better condition. Edited by dunkleosteus430 06/16/2022 07:39 am Report this Post to the Staff
Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 06/15/2022 3:35 pm Here is what we can identify from your photos. The reverse has a large ribbon bow under the words one cent. The obverse portrait looking left has the hair in a bun. Please show me any coin metal, colonial, pattern minted in 1792 that has those details in the design. Report this Post to the Staff

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 06/18/2022 8:36 pm I can't even say this is a genuine draped bust large cent. Maybe the edge was hammered slightly before being lost in the ground? Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 06/18/2022 8:49 pm The OP here has made it clear, they are not looking for opinions but looking for there own opinions to be gratified... Also got defensive over being called a troll then trolled the community in one of there more recent posts by saying it was basically a test and we failed to not tell them there unidentifiable coin was worth thousands of dollars based on a there photos... If your never wrong then you never learn and remain where you are, this isn't just with this hobby but with everything. If your confident and think your more skilled then the members here then prove them wrong once... The OP has spoke of sending coins to TPG but has confirmed nothing about results etc. If not a troll then someone unwilling to listen and wanting to demean others? Might I say a Keren?
