  Without a doubt, the 1800 cents are the most difficult to attribute. It doesn't appear to be but maybe it's all the corrosion that's throwing me off.
  The leaves in relation to the M on the reverse appear different to me when I compare it to the one from Butternuts website .

  I agree with Moldnut that 1800 large cents are a bear to attribute. I once owned one in Choice VF, and I had a dickens of a time figuring out the Sheldon variety. If it's hard to do with a Choice VF, it only gets harder for one in VG, Good or less.

I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
