<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 1690859, member: 21705&quot;]What is the weight? Alternatively, could you post a picture of the edge with a later date large cent for comparison? Except for a few mint errors, all thick edge Cents should have an edge device, usually lettering (ONE HUNDRED FOR A DOLLAR) followed by a leaf.</p><p><br /></p><p>To be honest, I&#039;m not sure you have the experience with thick edge varieties to know the difference. All Large cents seem thick to those unfamiliar with the true thick edge varieties preceding 1795 S-76b. This is particularly true with low grade examples where many dug coins have been corroded down to an ultra thin appearance making the normal thin planchet seem thick.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it truly is a thick edge (~208 grain minus wear loss), I&#039;ll make an offer immediately since I know of no true thick edge variety with the T positioned over the hair like this one (near the center of the hair).</p><p><br /></p><p>On second thought, I may be seeing a T which is not the minted T and is an illusion itself. It happens with corroded coins. You start seeing what you&#039;re looking for rather than what is there. If this is the case, then disregard my comments. They are based on the position of that &quot;T&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
