[QUOTE="BostonCoins, post: 1628073, member: 34720"]Hello everyone! I'm trying to get better at my attributions with Large Cents.... so I am hoping to get your opinion! Through one of the websites for coin sales, I came across this unattributed coin and thought it would be fun to figure it out. Here is the link to the sellers site: -->[URL]http://http://www.ebay.com/itm/1795-Flowing-Hair-Liberty-Cap-Large-Cent-Poor-Lowball-/221183246183?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item337f8c7f67[/URL] After looking and looking, I have narrowed my opinions down to two options. They are the S76a and the S77. My diagnostics are based soley upon the Obverse of the coin, where the reverse is toasted. In addition, the seller makes no mention of the edge (plain or not). The diagnostics I used to narrow down to these two were: Position of the base of the T in Liberty in conjunction withe the Hairline at the Forehead. However, that only got me to those two selections. I narrowed it down even further by seeing that the S77 has a weak pole due to the die being ground down..... This coin appears to have this, but certainly could be due to wear. So my guess is this is an S77..... Any opinions?[/QUOTE]
