[QUOTE="bsowa1029, post: 3215816, member: 34652"]I purchased two large cents yesterday for my type set. They are both very low grade, maybe FR2 or even PO1. The date on the classic head is mostly readable and appears to be 1813. The date on the draped bust is much more difficult to read. The dealer and myself both guessed that it is probably a 1798. I am interested in attempting to attribute which variety each coin might be and was hoping there was a member here who could point me to the best website/s for doing so? Thanks for the help! I will post my photos of the coins once I have made my guess as to the variety. P.S. The dealer sold the classic head as a coronet and he thought it was dated 1816. I knew it was a classic head and not coronet, but I didn’t know the date runs for each type. I had no clue at the time and only realized it was an 1813 when I got home. I checked the value of my coin and found that it’s pretty much worth what I paid with the dealer thinking it was an 1816.[/QUOTE]
