Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/06/2018 02:29 am Standard references United States large cents 1840 to 1857 my Grellman. Unfortunately the book is not easy to get a hold of and it takes a fair amount of practice using it to be any good at. At least the coin you have is in high enough condition to make attribution possible. Attributing late dates from pictures oh is rather difficult and in many cases impossible. Attribution often depends on tiny little points faint die lines which just do not reproduce well in photographs even quality close-ups of the proper area. Report this Post to the Staff

jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3162 Posts	Posted 05/09/2018 12:33 am sure thing. Those #s are all lumped together in Grellman book. You can still buy the book directly from him. I think large cents.com has the info. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/09/2018 08:37 am Last I knew Grellman is sold out of the third edition. At least that is what his ad in the last two issues of Penny-Wise have said. Report this Post to the Staff
