Couple Mercs, Large Cent & Barber Dime

Thanks to my pal Earthworks for his photography on these, with his new camera everything is coming out great. These are from three recent trips. Yesterday when I found the 1896 spoon posted last night I also found the 1941 Merc shown here. The 1944 Merc was an earlier hunt at an old house and the large cent and Barber dime (Beat up 1903) were from the same place, a different house from Rev. War era. Any idea on possible date of the large cent with bust facing right? Can't quite see date on it. THanks.

Nice finds Bergie!
Those mercs are in great shape. Can't help with the date on that cent though.

I'm not a expert but wouldn't this have to be a draped bust?? from the head on the obverse side? I could be wrong...

Some nice coins. I would love to find a drapped bust LC. Very cool.

The 1800-1807 varieties are the most common. It's most likely one of these types.
