<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 984421, member: 21705&quot;]I&#039;m trying to work on the unfinished task of identifying the different edge lettering used on Lettered Edge Large Cents from 1793-1795. The only different devices currently recognized are leaf down (Edge of 1793), a two leaf variety, and the leaf up (Edge of 1794).</p><p><br /></p><p>These photos show distinct differences in the Ls and I need the help of anyone with a Lettered Edge Large Cent and ability to capture a good picture of the edge with the attribution to see whether this is a random difference (two or more machines?) or specific to a set of varieties.</p><p><br /></p><p>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>This is Type 2 with a box type L where the right side angles at 90 degrees at it edge and then straight up. </p><p><img src="http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy168/MBryant31958/1794edge.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This image was provided by an Ebay seller for a S-28.</p><p><br /></p><p>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>This is Type 1 with an angled right side angling out at about 120 degrees presenting a flatter and less boxy appearance.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy168/MBryant31958/coins026.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This image is from a S-65 in my collection.</p><p>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>Even though the type 2 appears first, I&#039;m using this labeling in deference to the well known different lettering styles used on the draped bust series circa 1798.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
