Large Cent no date. Coronet type help ID

[dutchtoga]

Went to a new site and found this ruff large cent. Can we narrow down the the type 1816-1857 ? I'm thinking Matron Head 1816-1835. I'm not sure any thoughts?

Nice find. Study the designs of the late 1830s. And you should see yours.

I agree with "testing". I'd say maybe head of 1836 or thereabouts.
The older heads are "dumpier" looking than the 1830's issues , and tended to have larger dates that didn't disappear so quickly. Some of the 1830's issues had rather small, lightly struck dates. IMHO

go to "coins.ha.com" the heritage auctions site. there is a price guide with pics of all us coins. last summer I dug both an 1818 and 1835 matron heads in good condition and sold them for $5 each.
