I apologize, I should have said, "among the finest known"...

To put things in perspective, however...
a top 5 POP 50c 1870 no LCW will set you back $20,000+
a top 5 POP 25c 1906 small crown will set you back $10,000+
a top 5 POP 10c 1858 8/5 will set you back $10,000+

a top 5 POP 1c 1881H micro D will set you back $750 ($905 with juice)
a top 5 POP 1c 1894 thick 4 will set you back $500 ($604 with juice)

very undervalued IMO

That was my point

Perhaps these varieties will just never catch on.

Look at Newfy coins.

Just being 'rare' doesn't mean 'value'

I could make a sketch of a potted plant that would be a one-of-a-kind, but I wouldn't be able to get $5 for it.

I agree with CV. The values will converge over time.

I think that there are for more large cent collectors than 5 cent collectors. The problem with large cents is that there are SOOOO many varieties. Hard to know where to focus.

In contrast, it seems to me, that in quarters the small crown is kind of a stand alone as a notable variety. Reminds me of the UK 1926 penny varieties.

I have about 300 "major" varieties identified for the 1858-1936 era:

1. 100 1 cent varieties
2. 100 5 cent varieties
3. 100 10, 25, 50 and $1 varieties

I'd say thanks to the 2011 Charlton variety section, most of the large cent varieties are quite well known. But many remain very undervalued in MS.

It's a fantastic time to buy though

There were a number of lots that captured my interest but in the end I bought only the Newfoundland 1872H 50 Cent ICCS AU-50. I attend a number of Ontario shows each year and I always wonder how many of you I walk past or am next to at a dealer table.

Do you attend Coin Expo in Toronto? If so, drop by my table and say 'hello' sometime...
