One major variety of the 1794 Liberty Cap Half Cent (Penny) is the High Relief type. This coin can be identified by the higher relief of the liberty head on the obverse of the coin. High relief coins are struck much deeper and harder - meaning the hair and other features stand up or stick out of the coin much more than the low relief varieties.
