Does anyone know the Date of this coin?

Here is a picture of the back. I found this in New Hampshire while visiting my brother. The front is so badly worn I don't think I will ever be able to know the date for sure. I am glad the back is different on this style of Lage Cents.

Im no expert but i would guess... Draped Bust Cents 1796-1807
Regular Strikes

Give us a photo of the front anyway,sometimes a picture shows more than to the naked eye.

WOW, that didn't take long. I will post the front but unless you look really hard you can't see the *79*.

Looking under the wreath there appears to be the number 1. If that is present it would indicate that the large cent was minted between 1793 and 1807. These coins had the denomination marking 1/100 under the wreath. This was discontinued in 1808. To narrow the range in dates down, look at the obverse and determine which portrait of liberty was used. The style changed many times while the reverse remained the same.

Looks to be a 1795 Liberty Cap Cent to me...date is visible if you look hard enough...I found one last year.
Great find!

Judging by the ribbon below the word CENT it would have to date from 1796-1807

If you look at the pics on this site you will see what i mean.

OK, I have been cleaning (with Olive Oil) and rotated the picture a little bit so you can start to see the date and the face. I also included a picture of the Large Cent series this falls in.

Check out the nose on the 2nd picture, if you compare the nose to the crude in the 1st picture you can see the nose line.

I'll play.
My guess is 1799.

i hate it when large cents come up looking so corroded. i found this one the other day. unfortunately its the same way on both sides. this is after electrolysis! it was even worse before! at least you can see some detail on yours. looks like it was clipped to make change at some point as well. congrats on a cool find!

 

[BuckleBoy]

1799. Hit the nail on the head there. Nice work!

I guess its open to interpretation but I think it says 1798. I put a penny under one corner in hopes to see it better, let me know what you think.

Worn and damaged, but a cool find. Seems most feel it's 1799. WTG

 

[Vicegrip]

i'm guessing 99 because the hole on the 8 is smaller
then the hole on the 9 and to me the holes look the same.
but of couse I'm guessing.
