Colorfulcoins

This coin is slabbed by ANACS and it in NOT net graded. I will tell you it is copper and is legal tender in the US. I will say this is probably the most WORN coin I have ever seen in a slab that is identifiable..........what do you guess? Iwill post the slab picture tomorrow evening (Sunday) to see if anyone guesses correctly (ha ha ha).

1793 chain cent

I'm guessing it's something of great value. I have a feeling it's a Half Cent.

Stare at it long enough and you'll start seeing faces and stuff in it.

I saw a bunny rabbit! No! A dragon!

ms70

I'll say it's a 1793 Flowing Hair Cent w/Wreath Reverse.

sliderider

Forget the 1793 Wreath. I changed my mind. I'll say a 1795 Liberty cap instead.

^ Ha! Beat 'cha!

It's the very rare, seldom seen smooth cent.

Large cent-Draped Bust-1798

Okay, I can see (maybe) about half of a link of chain, so I'll go with the 1793 Chain Cent in P-01.

Geez ... those 3-D pics are easier on the eyes than this one

TUMUSS

It's a planchet.

Newmismatist

Well, it's round and it's copper - more than that is a WAG

I'm guessing "Surface of Mars".

Classic Head Large Cent

sliderider

I'm gonna make a backup guess of a 1793 Half cent with head facing left.

MrSpud

Ummm... looks like a NE Shilling from 1652 to me, only I thought they were made of silver...

golddustin

I too saw what appeared to be a bit of a chain ring on the reverse - and I too see different things when I look at the 'obverse"? At first I thought Fugio, but I have to place my bet on 1793 chain cent, also.

MrEureka

I can't see any detail on the coin, so I'm going to guess that it's a 1793 Wreath Cent with the Vine and Bars edge. The attribution was only possible from the third side of the coin.

Edited to point out that the only US legal tender copper coin that can be identified solely by the edge is the 1793 V&B.

Isn't that one of those little rubber feet you place under the legs of your couch to prevent it from moving around?

Very nice! Even though I have no idea what it is. Cause it's so funny when reading the reply.

I like Andy's answer

Gemini

1792 Birch Cent

Conder101

It's a good answer, wrong but a good answer. The 1793 chain cent also has the vine and bars edge. And the 1793 half cent can be identified by the edge only because it has two leaf ornaments after Two hundred for a dollar and the other years, 1794 - 1797 only have one leaf.

I'm actually thinking a Classic head large cent. I wouldn't even begin to guess the date.

Conder wins.

Guess it's the 93 half cent after all.

Ding ding ding.........MS70 guessed first....here's the slab:



I'm amazed that ANACS could identify this as a Wreath and also a S-11b........if youlook from a distance, youcan VERY faintly see the outline of the upper part of the head on the obverse....but that's about it.
