[QUOTE="BostonCoins, post: 1847603, member: 34720"]Great coin! After looking at it closely, I believe it's a S-192 (1800 over 179 w/ 2nd Hair style). R3. If you look at Obverse, the 1 & 8 are close, compared to the remaining 0's. The first 0 shows the undercut 9 clearly. The last 0 is problem free. The 8 seems to show the 7 clearly in the upper right portion of the digit. Additionally, the position of the E with the HPH, along with the I for the down slope of the back of the head seem to have a unique alignment when compared to other overdates of this series. On the Reverse... Much of it is obscured, however, the lettering of ONE with the O being lower set than the rest of the word. The C in cent also at a different height. There can even be seen what I think is a die crack running from the I in America, through the ribbon tails, through the denominator bar and through the 1 in 100. I'm still a novice at attributing Large Cents... so please.. wait for other input before labeling this coin.[/QUOTE]
