that means that Gidjit's roll is NOT complete, being only 50. It's all your fault, Roger, and he'll probably never forgive you! well I now have over 50 1858's so I guess I will try for a COMPLETE roll of 100  and dont worry when the time comes for me to sell them I will forgive you SPP |

As I stated earlier, I was told a story about someone getting a complete roll of them more than a few years back. The roll was not 50 (maybe 25?) and had iron/steel clips at the ends. I'll talk to the story teller at the Expo and let you all know.

Okie, you spoiler! You're just trying to get a free beer out of Gidjit at the next coin show!

Now what would be really cool is if you could find those clip ends..

Since the Vicky Cents were the same diameter as the Brit halfpennies, the "rolls" made have been modifications of them.

wow...
Here I haven't started collecting until very recently large cents because of the cost involved (my collection is still largely taken from circulation;
I have purchased a single 1859 (don't ask me which variant, I haven't a clue), but haven't been able to find an example of 1858... at least not one I could afford!

Wow!! This is impressive! You have more 1858's than I have all large cents.

Impressive! I was a single date collector at one time and honed in on 1890. Simply because the reverse relief seemed so strong and it symbolized a vanished period. Much easier to acquire than the 1858 and I quit after several hundred.

I just added two pieces to my collection. Up to 22 different die pairs.
