Early large cent(help id)

[70monte68]

I was going through some of the coins I have soaking in olive oil. This one caught my eye as it looks to be a very early large cent 1793-1796. Can somebody put a possitive id on this for me?
Thanks,

Don

That actually appears small enough to be a Half Cent. Grab another Large Cent and check for size. What does the reverse look like? Is it thicker than other large cents? Snap some more pics please....I"ve always had a fascination with liberty cap half cents.

Sniffy, It is of the large cent. As for the back the all you can see is one cent. They are a very interesting coin and I wish it was a half cent. I will post another pic after I take it out of the oil again.
