<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AtlantaMan, post: 26406188, member: 158885&quot;]Hi,</p><p>I am really stumped on this one. </p><p><br /></p><p>Below are pictures of my 1839 Coronet large cent, but I can&#039;t figure out if it&#039;s a) Coronet Head of 1838, b) Silly Head, c) Booby Head or d) 9/6.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is what I have been able discern (as far as I can tell)...</p><p><br /></p><p>1) The shoulder tip does not extend beyond the back of the head/hair.</p><p>2) The &quot;T&quot; in &quot;Liberty&quot; clearly does not come in contact with the hair.</p><p>3) There doesn&#039;t appear to be a line under CENT on the reverse, but under super high magnification and if I squint a little I might be able to convince myself that there is a wisp of a line there although it&#039;s not as long as I would expect.</p><p>4) The last digit of the date is a 9 but if I squint a little, I might convince myself that it&#039;s an extremely worn 9/6. </p><p>5) Because of the wear, I don&#039;t see any design on the rim.</p><p>6) Because of the wear, I don&#039;t see any beaded cords, but only some places where they may have been but even then, it doesn&#039;t look right to me. </p><p><br /></p><p>Would anyone hazard a guess as to what this is?</p><p><br /></p><p>Many thanks!!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1684885[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1684884[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
