    This large cent expert cannot.
    It’s a relatively common reverse type used after 1796. Not much obverse detail; what I hoped or thought was a significant die break across the obverse doesn’t match anything in my book.

    I’m also coming up empty. I just don’t see anything unique to help in the identification.

    Smitten with DBLCs.

  • I came up with an 1800 S-203.
    Does anyone want to double check that?

    Wow, I feel vindicated! I thought for sure @Aotearoa would pick up something I missed, especially since I was looking at iPhone images and on rumrunner #2 at the time lol!

    I would refute that, albeit based on weak evidence....the berries/stems look wrong for the variety.

    If you can attribute 1800 large cents from that, you are much better than I am. I had trouble with one in VF years ago. By 1800, the mint was doing a pretty good job of making "widgets" with respect to varieties.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
