    I think the seller said it was 1795 but I am having a hard time seeing the date. Can you see a partial date?

    Plain edge or lettered edge?

    I believe I see a ghost of a 1 underneath the hair, well off to the left. Quite a few 1795 and 1796 varieties have the 1 well off to the left, however.

    I think I'd need to see the coin in hand but it is probably identifiable.

    I don't know if it is a plain edge or lettered edge. I think I see a 95 when I enlarge it.

    Personally?, I would just find one with a Date. Like I said, just my opinion.;)

    Liberty Cap Cents are a very pretty design and holding a US coin from the 1700s with strong details is a special feeling. It's worth it to pay up for the nicest piece you can get, imo.

    Not seeing anything. This is the type of coin you have to examine in-hand under different light sources, magnifications and and at different angles.

    I tried this and I saw a date. The seller said it was 1795
