[QUOTE="swhuck, post: 1101335, member: 21044"]I think it's a 1839 Booby Head, based on the shoulder point at about 5 o'clock on the head. Keep in mind that this coin is quite common, although there is one rare variety (which I don't think this is). In any event, IMO the coin is way too blasted to be worth more than just a few bucks. Details grade is Fair (Poor obverse, AG reverse), and there's clearly plenty of damage and probably some corrosion as well. Keep in mind that I don't exactly attribute coins every day, and they rarely pay me to do so. :)[/QUOTE]
