NUMISMATIC NOTES
Lurqe Cents

In 1916 a new cent design,
the Coronet head, appeared
replacing the Turban head
cents last issued In 1914. The
intervening year, 1915, Is the
only one since coinage first
started In 1898 during which
the United States has not
minted any cents.
The Coronet cents reversed
the 1796-1814 policy of having
cents carry a similar diverse
design to that Of the silver
coins. Although the change in
the Coronet Liberty head was
not radical, 1t again gave the
cent a distinctive appearance.
This design was continued
until 1889, making 1t longest
lasting Of any type Of large
cent. During most years the
Coronet cent was issued in
sizeable quantities and only
two dates are considered
scarce, 1923 and 1921, with
1923 the scarcer Of the two.
Most years these cents were
issued with both small OF
large dates, closely or widely
spaced dates, or with the
letters in the legend large OF
small. During 1889, the las
year, the Liberty head ap
peared in several styles
giving rise to varieties tina
carry such mflattering desig

nations as SILLY head" and
"booby head" ALI in all, the
type is a variety collectors
paradise.
Another Oddly Of the Coro-
net type is that large numbers
Of uncirculated cents Of 1918,
1919 and 1920 have been dis
covered in recent times, many
part Of the famous Randall
hoard" This allows the type
collector to acquire a choice
Coronet cent at a relatively
modest price.
In 1887 the weight of cents
was reduced by law for the
first time since 1875. The
reduction was slight (16S to
164 grains) and did not stop
the public from grumbIine
about the cumbersome size.

CLOSE-UPS AND LONG SHOTS
What Is Perspective?
Burnett Explains 1t

ton Of the east front Of the
Capitol, also has some timely
hints for amateurs on lenses
and their selection.
In addition to focal length
and angle Of coverage, he en-
phasizeS the importance Of
knowing also the circle Of illu-
mination that a particular
lens has. Or else, a photogra-
pher might end up with a lens
of the desired focal length,
but with a circle Of illumina-
ton too small for his particu-
lar camera formal.
Mr.. Burnett says that he
has learned much about per-
spective through working with
architects. He says it Is usual
for a good architectural pho
tographer to walk around a
building he is about to photo
graph, select his perspective,
and then select the lens with
the proper focal length to give
him the picture he wants.
