Lot 895		Large Cent Blank Planchet with Upset Rims (Stage II) EF40. Glossy chocolate brown with smooth, undamaged surfaces that show the usual assortment of pre-striking planchet chips and nicks. Diameter 28.0 millimeters weighing 172.2 grains. The rims are upset and the planchet is ready for striking, most likely intended for a Mature Head (1843-57) cent based on the size and width of the upset rims. An important addition for any advanced collection of our early cents. Estimated Value $75 - 150. Ex 1987 EAC Sale, lot 618. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $180
Lot 896		Undated Mature Head Large Cent, the Obverse Heavily Blunted. Fine-12. Glossy medium brown. The reverse is struck normally but the obverse is extremely blunt. Probably struck through grease used to lubricate the press. There are faint traces of a date suggesting the last numeral is a 0, 2, 3, or 6. Only stars 4-6 are visible at all, so that gives you an idea of how blunt the obverse strike was. Weight 156.0 grains, which is close to normal for the grade. Estimated Value $50 - 100. Ex Jim Corrado. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $92
Lot 897		Blank Planchet for Mature Head Large Cents, 1843-1857 VF30. Stage II with Wide Upset Rims. Glossy medium brown with smooth surfaces marred only by the usual pre-striking planchet chips and nicks. Looks as if it may have circulated a bit, but that's difficult to tell for sure. The rims are upset and rather wide suggesting this planchet was for a Mature Head 1843-57 cent. Weight is 166.5 grains versus the mint standard of 168.0 grains for these cents. Estimated Value $75 - 150. Ex Jim Corrado. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $173
