[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 1960453, member: 36248"]So apparently the Coronet Large Cent is really two major coin Types, not one. I had it down as 1816-1839 (one slot), but while consulting my Red Book today, it makes sense to add a new slot in my Type set since there are two distinct designs: [B][U]Coronet Head Cent[/U][/B] Matron Head: 1816-1835 Matron Head Modified: 1835-1839. Very clearly different designs, so I wonder why they are often lumped together in Type Sets? Why separate out the earlier Classic Head Cent, as that also looks similar, but not the Modified Matron Cent?
