<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Omegaraptor, post: 3556993, member: 76105&quot;]The reverse says ONE CENT on it, in the wreath. In addition, we can tell that it is <i>not</i> a Flowing Hair type large cent due to the ribbon type indicating a reverse type used only on 1796-1807 pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is not a naturally gripped edge, as the 1797 Gripped Edge pieces are reverse of 1795 and thus have the &quot;flat ribbon&quot;. To show you what I mean, here is my own 1797 Gripped Edge S-121b:</p><p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/br/rjla22n4o8me.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Notice the reverse type of 1795, different leaf shape, flat ribbon.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your coin is a grinded down Draped Bust LC probably dated 1798-1807. I&#039;d wager 1802 or 1803, but there&#039;s no way to tell now, unfortunately. Unless someone seriously wants to go and attribute the variety on this thing, which I&#039;m not sure is even possible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
