Facing more negative public reaction, the Coronet cents were redesigned in 1835 by new Chief Engraver Christian Gobrecht. This last major change to the coin updated the obverse by giving Liberty a slimmer, more youthful appearance. Minor tweaks continued through 1843, and the 1843 design prevailed through the end of mintage in 1857. Some 11 years after the large cent was discontinued, a mint employee coined several large cents dated 1868, almost certainly for sale as instant rarities to numismatists. Fewer than a dozen of these unofficial issues, struck in both bronze and copper-nickel, are known to survive.

1847 N-19 R1 Repunched 4 AU58. A mint state cent that has too many light contact marks on the face and neck for an uncirculated grade. A thin vertical pre-striking planchet line on the neck is the best identifying mark. Frosty light steel brown with subtle overtones of light bluish steel in th ...

1847 N-7 R2+ AU50. Mint state sharpness but some fool smoothed off most of the rim cud that reaches from under the 18 to star 1. Otherwise this cent is essentially flawless except for a small patch of microscopic roughness between the U in UNITED and the end of the wreath ribbon. Lustrous medi ...
