@GERMANICVS, those are beautiful examples. I like the early large cents, very much part of our nation's history. I have a few but low grade.

I don't really have a favorite type, but my favorite large cent is my 1801 three errors. I think it's hilariuos it shows 1/000 value. I bought it from Tom Deck about eight years ago.  |

Chain cent is not the prettiest (actually pretty scary looking), but it was first at the U.S. Mint, an issue that was struck only for 14 days and has an eerie feel from the late 18th century at the inception of U.S. official coinage. This sums up my feelings perfectly. I love how a contemporary review called her "in a fright". The chain cent is my avatar <--- and my collection will never feel complete until I get one. |

Gotta go with the 1794 as well specifically out of the 66 varieties and, 58 collectible varieties of 1794 Large Cents. from 1794 the Sheldon 48 Starred Reverse. But there are a lot of really interesting and neat die varieties that year.  "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

Normally not into the large cents, but seeing that 1794 slabbed may have just upped my interest. Nice cent.

That Sheldon 48 looks much nicer than VF35 from afar.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Here are some better photos of it; https://coins.ha.com/itm/large-cent...sults-012417This photo was from when I was going through the Al Boka 1794 large cent lots at Heritage Auctions in Dallas. Wish I could say it was mine but it brought over $250K, just a bit more than I had to spend on me at the time.  It resold in the auction linked above for over $300K! It was also the discovery piece for the Starred Reverse AKA "The Chapman Discovery Coin." "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

I believe it is also the finest known for the variety.

Have any of you done business with Tom Reynolds out of Omaha? He is a dealer that sets up at a decent sized annual show in Milwaukee. What he has out on his tables always blows me away. He is really nice guy as well. I haven't bought from him as I don't collect large cents really, but I always make it a point to go see his latest offerings each time I go to that show (next one is around April 22nd). https://earlycoppers.com/about-me/Edited by CoinHunter53562
