    I am thinking that the 1803 is a small date, large fraction variety. Is that correct? I can't tell what type of 4 this 1814 large cent is and what do you think the grade is? The date seems to have wear and the Liberty is mostly worn off but I do see all the stars and the rim seems fuller.

    I think the 1803 is small date small fraction, as I don't see a serif on the 1 of the fraction. And the 1814 is definitely a plain 4 variety. Not a crosslet 4.

    Maybe your right about the fraction. I just looked at the differences and the top of the one goes out to the left more on the large fraction.

    The 1803 is a small date small fraction, I believe S-254. And as C-B-D says the 1814 is a plain 4. They only had to rev dies that year the plain 4 has the leaf point below the center of the D in UNITED and the crosslet 4 has that leaf point below the right side of the D.

    Thanks Conder101. Did you see this other thread https://www.cointalk.com/threads/any-uncommon-varieties-in-this-group-of-large-cents.270112/

    Is there anything special? I appreciate it. Probably easier with individual scans instead of all of them.

    No hadn't see it. I have to get ready for work shortly so I will try and look at it more closely later.
