    I paid 25 cents for it, the back is worn smooth except for two faint leaves from the wreath. Right now my guess having it in hand is draped bust but I think I would ask here. The weird thing is, liberty's head seems smaller than it is normally on draped bust, any help?

    Look how the bottom of the bust flows up , where the Draped Bust doesn't .

    After a way closer look a noticed the draping from a draped bust today. I got some new photos, I was hoping for this to be a liberty cap :/

    looks weird for a draped bust, maybe off center or just fairly early in the series. Still, 1796-1807 is not bad.
