<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2412196, member: 66&quot;]No the latter classic head half cents typically come on good quality planchets.&nbsp; (I believe you are thinking of the classic head large cents.)And the english planchets were normally much better made quality.&nbsp; The reason they often had problems when they got here was from how they were handled in shipping.&nbsp; (Being heavy they tended to be loaded on board ships first and were stored i the bottom of the ship.&nbsp; I wasn&#039;t unusual for them to spend months down in the bilges submerged in salt water before they were hauled out and delivered to the Mint.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
