USA: 1 cent 1798 (Draped Bust), km22, hair styles and overdate

since I'm hours ahead of you and it's a week-end, I'm giving you more graphics than usual! This one is nasty in my opinion.



Any comments, research results or what ever, are always extremely welcome.

Overdate and hair style?

It seems the overdate always have hair style 1

This is what I think I have so far. Everything is open for discussion. I've marked the sections on the graphic for easier navigation.


1. You missed the biggest discriminator of the hair styles. The Red Book has "extra curl near shoulder." It's this curl:

2. "1st hair style", "hair style 1", "style 1 hair", "type 1" Which one? Will need to change year lines to match.
3. Why 1897 reverse?
4. Since the overdate coins were from 1897 they would have the 1st. Since the 2nd came out in 1798 there were no 1797 with the 2nd.
5. Red Book says 1796. PCGS says 1795. SCWC says 1795 and 1796. I'm lost on this one.
6. Neither Red Book, SCWC or PCGS consider them separate variants. The Numista coin page only has one and a significant number (~30) of members claim to have one. If we split into 2 year lines we won't be able to divide them properly. I vote to keep the comment but not create a new year line.
7. Delete ngc.com

It think that's it?

​You posted this while I was composing my reply. I came to the same conclusion.

Try to be clear enough for me to get it right tomorrow? Time is catching up.

The version of now?

Yes! Perfect!

So what do we do with the 1796 reverse? Change the year line to 1795? Keep the 1796 year line and add a new 1795 year line?

Just saw your PM. I agree.
