    This one is totally roached, but I THINK it might just be an 1802. Pictures 4 and 6 seem to validate this claim the best.

    Could also be 1803 or 1808. Just plug it in the hole if you are so inclined.

    Apparently the lack of stems on the back means its NOT an 1802; after much MORE hemming and hawing I'm now 90% sure its 1803. Bummer.

    If the back is stemless then it isn't an 1803 either. The only stemless draped bust half cents were 1804 C-12 and 13, 1805 C-1, and 1806 C-1.

    Geez. I'll go with 1805 medium 5, final answer. Thanks for helping out everybody!

    Yeah I could go for an 05 C-1.
