I have had this 1795 large cent since I was 14. I am trying to see if it has any value or interest. Yep, it is not AG, yep it was likely cleaned, yep it has some pitting. Any thoughts?
I don’t see a date on it. Regardless, is it a “lettered edge”, a “plain edge”, perhaps a “plain edge Jefferson S-80” or a “reeded edge”? Can you even tell? The coin is clearly a Liberty Cap Cent. Go to NGC and pull up cents for 1795. That’s going to get you some good info and help you possibly nail down what you have.
A Reeded edge is a 6 figure coin as only 9 are known. A plain edge or a lettered edge is about $300 in AG-3 grade. Nice coin to have for so many years.
My feeling this coin is in the fair 2 category, but it is genuine. This coin value is hard to evaluate. I wonder how much it can be sold for.
