1794 large cent, head of ???

sweetwilliet

I saw this large cent, in an old holder not attributed, was wondering if any large cent experts could tell me if this is the head of 1793, 1794 or 1795. Thanks in advance.

Edited to add auction link: 1794 Large Cent

That looks like a Sheldon-57, Head of 94, Dr. Maris's "Pyramidal Head", its a common R-1 variety.

The really nice thing about 1794 Large Cent varieties is that they are "naked eye" visible. You don't need a 10X loupe to figure them out!
