zakota Valued Member United States 342 Posts	Posted 04/19/2009 7:30 pm I still can not guess that this coin has been struck on the reverse, and has been worn off. I have been looking at ones that the design has been stamped and worn off. The metals are meshed together. This one has not the metals meshed together. I know it is hard to tell from a photo on the Internet. But I am trying to make the photo's clearer and closer. I am learning. So here is another try posting this coin. It is a 1794 large cent. The print is on the edge of the coin in 100. Image: 1794R.jpg 57.59 KB Image: RX.jpg 96.38 KB Edited by zakota 04/19/2009 8:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 04/19/2009 8:25 pm The 1794 Large Cents were notoriously weakly struck on the reverse. You will almost always find a much stronger obverse strike. This reverse, if you look closely, still shows leaves of the wreath. It is technically a PO1 (Poor1) coin (based on the reverse). A PO1 coin would be identifiable as to type based on the Sheldon scale of 1-70. swcoin.ecrater.com Edited by vermontensium 04/19/2009 8:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff

zakota Valued Member United States 342 Posts	Posted 04/27/2009 7:02 pm I meant that the pour was not compressed. The metal has no compression to the back side. You know like the front. There are no gaps in the metal. On the rear there is no compression to push the gaps from the metal. It looks as it is completely not struck. I will no longer argue this point on this coin. It is something that you have to have in your hand and view. Some on here actually say they see leaves? I can to. But it is not a design, it is the metal. Oh well. Report this Post to the Staff
