Do these help Mila? not the best example of a large cent but it's the only one I have!

Yes! I never had the pleasure of seeing one of these in hand. I had no idea these were this large. Thanks.

Bryan...
Looking at your 7070 album, I see there were quite a few that are as large as the half dollar WOW !
I had thought it was the one called 'Flying Eagle'.

What about these ' Half Cents' Bryan...are they also as large as a half? In the pics it looks as they are.

You know, seeing these in pictures doesn't help unless it is sided/compared with a coin in current circulation
I am mostamilar with. 'Coinaholics' comparision helps a lot especially if I never seen any of them in person.

Thanks my friends.
Now, when I read a post about 'Large cent' I'll know what
you all are talking about.

Well....Mila......
I hope you get a chance to buy one or two sometime......Like I posted before, they're able to be purchased at coin auctions, estate auctions, coin shows, etc. etc......and they don't cost very much in lower decent grades. I feel it's a MUST to have them in a collection.....variety is cool !

There's also the british penny which was almost the exact same size as the half dollar. I get them in rolls of halves occassionally.

Mila,

A Half Cent is just slightly smaller than a quarter (half cent: 23-23.5 mm; quarter: 24.3 mm).
