1811 one cent

[Tony12100]

Today I went back to the field I've been hunting. Dug this rough large copper one cent. Makes 13 total coppers so far and about 30 1700's era buttons and three silver reales . It actually 1841

Not a Classic Head. Looks like an 1841 Braided Hair (1840-1857).

LCs are a great find regardless of the year

1841

Its really turf to see the date. Are classics heads coppers a little smaller than the coronet? It very well could be a 1844.. very difficult to see

This coin is smaller than the coronet head that I found. And it looks like 1811.

Classic Heads have a protruding bust, Matron/Coronet Heads have a bosom that's level with the face (and a flatter facial profile), Braided Hair heads' faces protrude past the bosom/neck.

This coin is smaller than the coronet head that I found. And it looks like 1811.

Large cents can have varying diameters, and diameters may also be affected by environmental conditions. It's not 1811 no matter what the date looks like. Look at the bust outline.
