<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 1252959, member: 21705&quot;]I guess there is no use disguising what I&#039;m looking at. I&#039;m looking at a 1794 Obverse 2 in fair condition. The top two shorter locks above a longer lock with the presence of the top of the pole at the cap confirm the obverse. It is called S-18b, but I can&#039;t see enough detail on the reverse or any clue on what is left of the Obverse to use for die state identification to verify Reverse A verses Reverse B of S-19. Both are R4 though I believe the S-18 is somewhat less available judging by Heritage records. Both are Head of 93 type coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The type premium would have to be offset somewhat by the lack of identifiable reverse, but I&#039;m just not sure by how much. My current thought is that an identifiable variety of this type in basal 1 would go for about $200 since AG lists at about $550. But beyond that I&#039;m uncertain.</p><p><br /></p><p>O well, in for a Penny, in for a Buck.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is what I&#039;m looking at.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FU-S-1794-LIBERTY-CAP-LARGE-CENT-HEAD-93-NICE-%2F230661944906%3Fpt%3DCoins_US_Individual%26hash%3Ditem35b485f64a" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FU-S-1794-LIBERTY-CAP-LARGE-CENT-HEAD-93-NICE-%2F230661944906%3Fpt%3DCoins_US_Individual%26hash%3Ditem35b485f64a" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/U-S-1794-LIBERTY-CAP-LARGE-CENT-HEAD-93-NICE-/230661944906?pt=Coins_US_Individual&amp;hash=item35b485f64a</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m currently high bid, but I&#039;m beginning to think I overbid based on identification I can&#039;t confirm.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course I can&#039;t confirm the edge, but either with an edge of 93 would be an even greater rarity.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m inclined to go with 19b due to the bulges which MAY indicate the obverse die is about to fail.
