Got this Coronet Head. Looks like a kid 150 years ago got bored with their rocks and used it to bash in the date. XD any help on what the date could be? i think it might be an 1819, 1818, or an 1924. Random Pictures:
i posted pretty much the same thread yesterday but it got buried in the second page quickly so i posted it again. Sorry :/
https://www.cointalk.com/threads/help-with-date-on-coronet-head-large-cent.290855/ without looking at any other attributes I'd guess a 1821 or 1819 I guess. but I know squat about coronet large head cents.
The coronet heads prior to 36 were the old looking Matron head types. The Young heads were 36- 39. The only way to id is by attributing using pics. Trying to match the coin itself. This is a young head, so it has to be between 1836-39. You can look here and try to match hairstyles, stars, mouth, denticles, beaded hair band ect...http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/1726
In the Redbook, admittedly simplified, the only dates shown with a dot between One and Cent: 1837-1839.
It also has beeded hair cords which eliminates 1836, and about half of the 1837's. The head style is what is called Head of 38 and that eliminates all but one variety of 1839. With more work I might be able to narrow it down completely
