<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 4798919, member: 77413&quot;]Here is another cent for the type set. An 1819 Coronet Head is a far cry from the Lincoln I just posted above. I admit I posted an 1820 in post <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/building-a-type-set.365346/#post-4770898" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/building-a-type-set.365346/#post-4770898">#9</a>. It is still too nice for me to crack out. I got this one so I wouldn&#039;t be quite as terrified of de-slabbing it.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was an XF45 before I freed it up.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1165330[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Now it is raw again.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1165333[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1165334[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1165335[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Things are progressing in the Large Cent part of the album. That 1854 Coronet Braided Hair is just a pocket piece that usually sits on my desk. It&#039;s keeping the space filled until an 1856 arrives in a few days. It&#039;s the same situation I am in with this coin. I have an <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/pretty-coin-post.303385/page-3#post-2865085" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/pretty-coin-post.303385/page-3#post-2865085">1855 with stunning red luster</a>, but I just can&#039;t bear to break it out for the set.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1165342[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Wizard Coin Supply warns the prospective buyer that this album has a hole that is too small for the Braided Hair cent. I noticed from a photo in another thread that someone else fixed it the same way I did. </p><p><br /></p><p>I took a Dremel tool with a sanding drum attachment and ran it around the inside of the hole until the cent would fit in. Unfortunately the green paper looks a little tattered, but I think an Exacto knife would slice off a tiny bit of that. (You can see the other Intercept Shield album in post <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/us-type-set-finally-finished.358322/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/us-type-set-finally-finished.358322/">US Type Set finally finished</a> has exactly the same tattered edges.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
