Calling all Victoria Large Cent collectors! I am conducting a census of the Victoria large cent varieties identified in the Charlton Standard Catalog, 65th edition on pages 269-348. The intent of the census is to lay the groundwork to establish and continue to update over time, three things;
Relative scarcity of a particular variety
Grade spread
Top 10 known by grade
If you would like to participate, and I hope you will, follow the link below for more information

Sounds like a good idea, Dan! I constantly buy and sell and so I do notice what coins are easier to get and which are hard. But that won't help your census. But one of the things I do know is that the 1891 varieties are much more available than the general collecting public thinks and are in need of a major price correction.

tamarin, There are several of the varieties that are not scarce but desirable non the less because of the feature. A good example form 1891 would be the long serif T on page 330 and another would be the 1881 triple N in REGINA on page 305. Both dramatic, both easy to see without a glass but not that hard to come by if you are on the hunt for them.

Dan, you're right and you've pointed out something critical to the survival of a variety as a collector-must-have. If a variety is not visible to the naked eye, but it has to be confirmed by a loupe, it's in trouble.

Thanks guys! looking forward to fleshing this out with your help. Census contributions are starting to come in. I appreciate all the help with this. The result of the project will only be as good as the quality of submission and the number of participants. Cheers
