Description

Like the previous type, Coronet Head Cents were struck out of pure copper, with a weight of 10.89 grams (168 grains) and diameter of approximately 29 mm. All pieces were struck with a plain edge.

Production quality became much more standardized during this series, although the careful examiner will still find plenty of weakly struck examples. Another problem with these early copper coins is the toning, which is often spotted and irregular.
