Flaunt your flat tops: which US coinage dates and denominations feature flat-top threes?

Maybe it's just me, but I like the angular appearance of the flat-top three (3) digit like the one in this 1843 large cent:
Contrast that digit style with the more usual rounded three in this 1943 half dollar:
Several denominations and dates or date ranges of US coins feature the flat-top three. Please post yours, or at least call out the date and denomination! I'll start...
1913 $10 Indian:

So does the 1936 Bridgeport.
And the 1935 Connecticut.
And the 1935 Hudson.
And the 1936 Lynchburg.
And the 1934 Maryland.
And the 1936 Norfolk.
And the 1936 Rhode Island.
And the 1937 Roanoke.
And the San Diego.
And Texas.
And the 1936 Wisconsin.
And lastly, the 1936 York.
Hope I did not miss any.

Sure is! That 1817/3 half put me over the top....c'mon Santa...thanks for posting...
Many successful BST transactions with dozens of board members, references on request.

We have yet to see or list all the denominations and dates! It turns out that in addition to pre-1964 coinage, some modern coinage uses flat top threes. For example:
2003 Jefferson Nickel:
2003 Roosevelt Dime:
My most recent purchase.
However, since we're talking about coins...

List updated. Evidently, the first quarters in 90 years to feature flat-top 3s are the 2013 ATB quarters...
Numismatists do find the smallest of details to focus on..... Cheers, RickO

Don't forget the 1803 dollar
Beautiful, TDN -- added!
Related question: Has a U.S. coin ever used the open top 4 vs. the closed top?
Off the top of my head, I can't think of one....just seems like it would be an odd choice. But the commems have enough variation, that maybe one exists??
And, a flat top 3, just make up for hijacking the thread.
Great coins! Quarter-eagles, half-eagles, and eagles added.
The 1839 original gobrecht is considered a circulation issue

List updated to include 1803 dime and 1839 Gobrecht dollar.... Thanks for your input!
Not a coin, but struck on a coin planchet.
The way I understand it is those with a flat-top 3 in "Mar 23" are original strikings.
It didn't even occur to me I owned a flat-top until I saw this thread!
