    I need some sharp eyes on this one, an 1805 P Half Cent. The reverse is worn smooth so can't tell if it is with stems or without stems. The obverse, the date is worn smooth on the bottom but otherwise distinguishable as an 1805. Hey, I hope I look this good when I am two hundred and twelve years old. The problem is, is it a small, medium or large five? I appreciate your educated opinions.
    And if you can figure THAT out, any ideas on value / collectibility?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Looks like same height as 0, my best guess is a large 5.

    Point of the 5 doesn't touch the bust so it isn't a large 5. The 8 and 0 are close together (closer than the 18) so it isn't the small 5, that makes it the medium 5.

    Your eyes are better than mine. Nice deduction "Watson" After looking closer; I agree!

    Value / collectability? It's only a filler, barely a $25 value

    So, anybody want it for $25? My curiosity is fairly tamed now.
    Thanks all.
