Picked this up for 50 cents and was hoping one of the advanced collectors here could help me date it.

    You said help you- do you have a guess?

    Reverse resembles an 1804 but obverse is off; I would guess an 1803 without running through my books!

    I can't see anything that resembles a date, but I don't have a loupe handy.

    Have you tried flowers?

    I would agree with the above. Probably 1803. The position of the T in Liberty over the start of the hair as well as the position of the T in Cent over the tip of the leaf narrows it down quite a bit.

    1796-1807. Give it to a kid on Halloween. Just hope that he is a coin collector otherwise you may get your house egged.

    Maybe you should ask her parents first.
