<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 1048878, member: 2972&quot;]I&#039;m sure I could -- even this worn you can generally attribute them.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>However, there are 40-ish varieties of 1798 out there, and I don&#039;t quite have the time to do it now.&nbsp; Perhaps someone else will help (for instance Conder can generally do these from memory, and Marshall is also quite good), and if not I&#039;ll try and do it sometime this weekend or early next week....Mike</p><p><br /></p><p>p.s. it&#039;s clearly a &quot;style 2&quot; or &quot;type 2&quot; obverse, which will narrow it down (Style 2&#039;s for 1798 are S-165 to S-187).&nbsp; You can tell because of the extra circular curl of hair on the obverse above and left of the &quot;1&quot; in the date.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>p.s.s. If you go to Heritage, and pay close attention to the following attributes, I&#039;ll bet you could attribute it yourself:&nbsp; (1) Positioning of LIBERTY against the bust and the spacing of the letters, (2) position and spacing of date, (3) position of wreath to UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, (4) &quot;1/100&quot; position and spacing, and (5) spacing of ONE CENT and it&#039;s position against the wreath.&nbsp; For example, go to ha.com and do a search for 1798 s-165 and compare that to your coin,&nbsp; you will quickly notice that the 8 in the date is different, as is the position of T in LIBERTY against the bust.&nbsp; Rinse &amp; repeat.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
