    I was looking through my dads old large cents and half cents and stumbled upon this Flowing hair large cent “type 4” ( I believe ). It’s really worn and you can’t you see much detail including the date:(
    But I was wondering if anyone could find out which one it is? ( as in variety I think )

    The white background caused the coin image to be too dark.
    Can you re-image it on a dark, non-reflective background?

    Specifically the(DOLL)AR ____ area in case it happens to be a head of (93) which is unlikely, but would be the point of greatest interest. I'm unfamiliar with the Identification of Type Four. But I can tell you it should have enough detail to be identifiable without the date or lowest curl.

    This response is made without looking at the Reverse yet.

    Just looked. Reverse X of 1794. Six Obverses to check.

    Last one of course. S-54 Early Obverse die state (Noyes A) before the crack from rim to hair below Cap.

    Here’s two pictures in the dark with the brightness turned down a bit. Should I take more pics of the rim?
