CompareLarge Cent Classic Head 1814 Grade AG/psIV=14
This could be a good placeholder in your collection as this coin exhibits extensive wear and scratches from much use. The date is visible with some Obverse detail. Liberty is partially visible.
Matron Head, or Middle Dates (1816?1839)
As a response to public criticism of the Classic Head, the Mint assigned Chief Engraver Scot to redesign the cent in 1816. This newest design enlarged the obverse portrait, giving Liberty a much more mature look (leading to the Matron Head reference), and surrounded the portrait with stars along the outer edge of the coin. The “Matron head” design was modified in 1835 to give Liberty a younger look and matron head cents continued to be made until 1839.
