James Zyskowski Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Welcome. Hey howdy you got a good one from first looks. Leave it where it is for now and remember never touch coins with your hands. I believe you have a very desirable coin. I’m not an expert at this series but there are many here who are. Thanks for posting. I will learn with you 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Bill347 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I would get this coin looked at by an American Numismatic Association dealer. It appears to be a 1795 flowing hair cent with a reeded edge. It could be very valuable. Please don’t let anyone but a reputable dealer appraise it. It would be definitely worth having the dealer have it graded at NgC good luck James Zyskowski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom Boss Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 I have the book but for some reason I can’t tell them apart from the one I have. They all look the same to me. James Zyskowski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Bill347 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 It has a reeded edge can you tell if there is edge lettering in it. It will fall into this range somewhere. man example from EBay right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even close. 1795 S-76 The real question is does it have a lettered edge or a plan edge. The lettered edge (S-76a) is an R-5 (31 to 75 known) and the plain edge (S-76b) is an R-1 (over 1000 estimated to exist) The S-76 plain edge is the most common of the 1795 cents. That said this is not in the typical condition seen. This is a very desirable coin. Oldhoopster and Mom Boss 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know that it is not a very common coin and one in that nice condition is hard to find. There are many counterfeit examples out there ? So I can not say one way or the other . I would post it in the newbie tread and see if one of the old timers can confirm its authenticity. Good Luck , MoM Boss On 2/8/2022 at 3:10 PM, James Zyskowski said: Welcome.

tj96 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Can we ask where/how you acquired this coin? Someone was smart enough to put it in a 2x2 flip. Be careful of those staples! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
