1795 Capped Liberty Cent

[Stan Milgram]

I found this today in the same field where I found the 1798 2 Real last week.

Not sure what variety it is and any help would be appreciated.

Congrats! It's in great shape. Though a Liberty Cap in any shape is a nice find

Great find!

That one ought to come out nice after a peroxide bath.

I was thinking about that, but want to get the type before I clean it too aggressively.

Congrats on the old copper, nice to see the detail still there.

Fantastic , possibly a lettered edge (a hundred for a dollar ) ,
check it to see if it is plain or lettered .

Wow great capped! I see talk of cleaning, but she's perfect just the way she is IMO

I would only toothpick it to clean. I chemically cleaned (peroxide) a nice detailed 1822 and now its very dark and hard to read. Wish I never did it.

Based on what looks like LIBERTY being very close spacing wise and the CENT on the Reverse being more slightly below center, it appears it is a Sheldon 78 Rarity 1 Common for that year. Large Cents

Great find !!

Great save.

SWEEEEEEET.... I recently found a 1796... But you have me beat by a year! As far as the cleaning, don't be very aggressive. You can lose detail, even with water. You just need to be very careful and dont go crazy cleaning it. She looks fantastic now!!!!

Don't mess up a good thing. She is a beaut the way she is. Very nice surface there

Congratulations!
