Description
1857 Flying Eagle Cent, XF45
on an Elliptical Planchet
1857 1C Flying Eagle Cent -- Struck on an Elliptical Planchet --
XF45 PCGS. Ex: Fred Weinberg Collection. Elliptical clips occur
when the coinage strip advances only slightly between blows from
the planchet cutter. The result is an undersized oval-shaped
planchet and a narrow arc-shaped planchet. The riddlers typically
send the narrow planchet on its way to the furnace, but the
oval-shaped flan can be mixed in with normal planchets and
eventually struck. This golden-brown Flying Eagle cent has a normal
diameter between 2:30 and 8:30, where a rim and dentils are
present, but is quite narrow between 10:30 and 4:30, where the rim
and dentils are absent. STATES is close to the border, and UNITED
STATES OF shows distortion from outward spreading. Lightly
circulated, but smooth save for wispy marks below the tail and
after the D in UNITED. A drop of aqua residue is above the 5 in the
date.From The Fred Weinberg Collection.
