CKcollectibles2 Valued Member United States 81 Posts	Posted Yesterday 4:54 pm I recently bought a lot of 10 large cents off ebay; nothing special all AG-VG common dates. I paid $60 which makes it $6 per coin. That made me wonder, what is a good target price for large cents for someone purely wanting volume of the beautiful classic coins? Thanks!

Spence Moderator United States 34484 Posts	Posted Yesterday 8:55 pm In 2026, $6 per large cent sounds like a pretty good deal to me on AG to VG large cents. Can you get more at that price?

MintedNotPrinted Pillar of the Community United States 1343 Posts	Posted Yesterday 10:54 pm That is a pretty decent deal! Locally, the only bulk I've seen has been 10x P to AG's for $25... which was still tempting, but I did pass (most were complete slicks). Report this Post to the Staff

thecoinguy1964 Pillar of the Community United States 1327 Posts	Posted Today 4H 13M ago Back in the day, I used to buy Large Cent lots of ebay. I think 15-20 years ago, $5 a coin was the going price. So $6 today is probably a good deal. You'll get some absolute junk culls, but every now and then, you'll come up with a decent coin or two. It's difficult to find an undamaged Large Cent for less than $25 at a coin show. Good luck & happy hunting. Edited by thecoinguy1964 Today 4H 11M ago Report this Post to the Staff

CKcollectibles2 Valued Member United States 81 Posts	Posted Today 1H 8M ago I can't get more at that price, it was an auction. I will work on sending some pics later today. I'll definitely be on the lookout for more around that price, I think I currently have 35 large cents and they are one of my all time favorite coins! Report this Post to the Staff
thecoinguy1964 Pillar of the Community United States 1327 Posts	Posted Today 22M ago I started with wheat cents, then to Indian Head cents, and finally onto Large cents. I'm a big fan of copper! Happy hunting. Report this Post to the Staff
