Hubby thinks this a reeded edge. I don't agree, I think it's a starred reverse edge. We can't be that lucky.
Maybe I am wrong, but the only starred reverse I am aware of is 1794. How about a picture of the edge? To me it looks like a S-76B plain edge, unless the edge has lettering then a 76A. Not 100% positive since I did not study it real hard.
Don't confuse the denticles with reeding. The S-76 has 2 main variations and a couple of unique or near unique variations. First, is a scarce thick planchet with lettering known as S-76a and is an R5 (about 50 known and 1 of which I am a proud owner). Then the much more common 76b with a thin planchet and no edge lettering and is an R1 common. Then the others are a thick edge with no lettering and a thin edge with lettering. The reeded edge S-79 was probably hand reeded as a trial piece which was quickly discarded due to it's higher production cost with little benefit for a copper coin. It was a 1795 strike though and seven are known. All of these are made from a unique obverse and a unique reverse die which were not used on any other die pairings. The starred reverse made it's only appearance in 1794 on the S-48 Reverse W and is an R5 (about 50 known).
