[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 1033082, member: 21705"]I purchased a lot of 10 copper coins that just don't have a place in a DECENT collection. Here is the one that got me to bid. It is bent and therefore "worthless." [IMG]http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy168/MBryant31958/1803HalfCent.jpg[/IMG] Now I think both sides are fairly easy to identify. But I encourage the Half Cent guys to look at BOTH sides. My initial impression (often wrong) is 1803 C-3 Obverse and 1803 C-1 Reverse, Key Obverse Identifier - LI and ER close and ER higher than B__T for C-3. Key Reverse identifiers - Long stems under (O)F and (A)M. Berry centered between the serif of (L)F and the leaf above it and short or no stem. Left Wreath Stem under the right side of the left upright of the U(N) If looking at it with the U up. Let me know what you think.[/QUOTE]
