I have trouble with the varieties. I only have 1858 to 1920. Plus just a few extras of the common dates.

I'm more of a small cent guy, though I appreciate the work that many have done on the varieties, and I'm fascinated by the sheer volume of information. I do have a secret thing for 1858's though.

You can count me in on being a Large Cent luver! The following are some examples of the I.C.C.S., Red, Large Cents I currently have in my collection:
***I.C.C.S.,MS-65>1900H,1902,1904,1905,1913,1914,1916,1918

***I.C.C.S.,
MS-64>1876H,1887,1888,1890H,1892,1901,1903,1907,1908,1909,1910,1911,1912,1915,1917,1919,1920.
All the other missing dates are primarily MS-63's and MS-62's that will eventually be upgraded.

I absolutely love Canadian large cents, but I'm not one to want to collect every variety. I just want one example of each year (and mintmark) that they were produced between 1858 and 1920.

I collect Canadian large cents and have owned most dates and varieties in the past and still have a lot. I'm still on the trail of my first 1859 brass. I go to a lot of small flea markets and similar sales looking for bargains. I usually find them.

Wow, with everyone that is looking for large cents,
I guess I'll have to up the ante on my trade list.

I have a pretty good average grade collection with all the tuff varieties except the dp#1 and some of the more obscure 59s not sure on some of the obverse varieties , someday I will post some pics for advice.

When I spot one or two I'll get them. They're pretty nice, definately a favorite of any canadian coins imo.

I'm trying to piece a year set together from local coin shops it tough...ebays the easy way out lol (but I like it)

Large cents are one of my favorites - Trying to collect all of them in the Library of Coins album, but also working on the varieties from the Zoell book.
