[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 952757, member: 21705"]The close L eliminates the 1794s and 1797s. There might be signs of the shattering of the die across the bottom of the cap across the coin almost splitting it in half seen on the 1796 C-1. 80.8 grains makes it a thin planchet and less likely to have edge lettering, though not impossible. [IMG]http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy168/MBryant31958/HalfCentObverse.jpg[/IMG] Comparison C-6 coin from Coinfacts [IMG]http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy168/MBryant31958/HalfCentReverseSXS.jpg[/IMG] The berry with the long stem above a leaf away from the wreath is only seen on the 1795 C-6, so it has to be it... except look at the fraction bar which is higher and the left stem which is shorter. .[/QUOTE]
