<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AirborneReams, post: 8102408, member: 114853&quot;]Hey all,</p><p><br /></p><p>I got this piece in today the 1794 large cent. I have determined it to be the head of the 1795 due to the hair curling under, I didn’t get the best pictures but it is more obvious in hand. The coin around the edge says one hundred for a dollar nice and clear. I did weigh this and it did come down a bit under its weight at 12.7 grams I believe it’s supposed to be around the 13.4 grams mark. I don’t know the threshold or if time can be a factor but does seem like a bit of weight. Also I don’t have a very nice scale but for an Indian head it averages 3.1-3.3 grams so I know it’s close. But the thickness of this coin is crazy that is what worries me most. I don’t know if these large cents were made this thick or what but I compared it to some mid and late date large cents and is much more thick then those and slightly bigger in diameter as it should be compared to the large cents I compared it to. I don’t have an exact way to measure the dimensions except other coins at this time. The average would be 28mm for this coin and 27.5mm for the 1855 large cent which it seemed exactly to be that as it was o my slightly bigger. I could not find anything on thickness for these coins so I am unsure. I guess I am just unsure because it’s very thick, weighs a little under, and also I got it for a very good price at 275$. I have pictures added and side by side comparison of the 1855. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1408998[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1408999[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1409000[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1409001[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1409002[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1409003[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
