[QUOTE="Jim M, post: 256232, member: 4791"]Great Question. There are several Types of Large Cents. (More when you go back to earlier dates) Matron Head 1816-1836 Modified Matron Head for 1837-1839 Braided Head 1839-1857 Now there is like you said a crossover period in there. In 1839 as an example there was what is called the Silly Head and the Booby Head. There are also large letters, medium letters and small letters. If I could see the image I could probably tell you which coin you have. I use this site to help me when I have trouble. [url]http://staff.jccc.net/scarr/photo_gallery.htm[/url] Don't know who it is but they have some great pictures and alot of the coins have the attributes on them! Good Luck. Hope this helps.
