<p>[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 1690211, member: 21705"]It is far enough gone that my opinion is different from Conders. I see T central above, but close to the highest wave of hair which would eliminate all Sheldon varieties before S-68 and the so called head of 95s. I regard Sheldon Obvs 35-38 on S-68 through NC-3 as ALMOST head of 95s because of the curls which are not present on Obv 39 and the actual obverses of 95 and 96. My best guess from this alone would be S-78 of 1795, or S-81, S-82, S-88 or S-91 of 1796. The weight should be below the 168 grains of the thin planchet and there should be no lettering on the edge.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as value, it has almost everything working against it. No date. Not identifiable by variety. No reverse. severe corrosion. But it might be of interest to a type collector on a VERY LIMITED budget. since it is identifiable as a Liberty Cap. I'm thinking $12-$15 max since this is a thin edge variety and double that for lettered edge thick planchet varieties.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
