    I bought some early large cents last week. Here are the four beautiful ladies.

    1. 1796 Liberty Cap
    2. 1796 Liberty Cap
    3. 179? Liberty Cap. Has the edge lettering with the leaf image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg pointing down.
    4. 1794 that I plucked online.

    I'm looking for Sheldon numbers if anyone can help.

    Those last two shots........I'm not an early copper guy, but it looks like the obverse is a Jimmy Durante portrayal. The silvery pics and bulbous head belie copper.

    I believe the last coin, the 1794 is a Sheldon 45. If so, it is a rarity of R-5.

    The first coin, the 1796 Liberty cap is a Sheldon 87.

    The third coin, also a 1796, is an S-86. Another R-5. Easy to see the ghost leave under the first "T" in states. Sweet!

    Still need help with the third coin pictured. It is the 179?. The edge lettering is the small type with the leaf after dollar pointing down. Thoughts?
