<Our item number 106478><B>1849 Coronet Head Cent. N-<B>21, R4+</B>. Fine-12 Incomplete Planchet.</B> Slightly sharper where properly struck, but there is a small patch of reddish verdigris at star 8 and a bit more on the edge at star 9. Glossy medium brown and chocolate with a couple splashes of reddish chocolate on both sides. Struck from an incomplete planchet cut from the end of the strip. The left half of the planchet is too thin and ends in a long, straight clip. The dentils opposite this clip are weakly strruck, the so-called Blakesley effect that testifies to the genuineness of the mint error. The planchet weighs 123.6 grains versus the 168 grain standard. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;75-150. <I><BR>Ex Jim Corrado.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 106478<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/39jpegs/106478.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/39jpegs/106478N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
