    This was billed as an 1809 Large cent (obviously it isn't)
    can't tell much from the bad pics but for 8 bucks I said the hell with it lol
    From what I can see I'm thinking it's a 00/79 overdate but sumptin wrong with that... notice it apears to be 1st hair style not 2nd (and the 00/79s were all 2nd hair style) so got me a lil mystery LC for 8 bucks.. can't wait to see it in hand lol

    The hair is correct. This coin is a Draped Bust 1796-1807.
    I can't see from the images but it must be from 1800-1807.
    Still worth way over $8 even in this condition. Identifying the
    date would be key and then self grade at F-02?

    Eight bucks for a Draped Bust cent? I say yes, no matter what the heck it looks like.
