This Classic Large Cent from 1814 is of the “Plain 4” variety. The "Plain 4" and "Crosslet 4" are varieties of the 1814 Classic Large Cent and it is referring to the style of the numeral 4 in the date on the coin. Visually the difference lies in the stem of the 4. The plain numeral 4 has a straight, vertical stem and the crosslet 4 has a cross-like design at the top of the stem, resembling a small cross.
