Source For Large Cent Variety Photos?

Completely unrelated but your Dan Holmes link made me want to attribute my 1841 cent!
(For the record, it was probably a N-2: end of curl pointing to top right corner of the 4 in date and no visible die cracks altogether.)

The difference between a coin collector and true numismatist is knowledge. Some years ago, I invested in the Sheldon book, and it has paid for itself literally hundreds of times over; this, especially so in the past two years. There are rare varieties out there, awaiting discovery, and such coins continue to appear. My three best buys have been at a flea market, a coin auction and an antique shop. Investment in coin books and garnering knowledge therein can reap great rewards; and, not simply financial rewards. There's a great thrill attached to finding NC or Non-Collectible varieties of large cents, condition census coins and the like that are thousands of times rarer in numbers than the SVDB's and 16-D's!

Also, joining organizations like the EAC, the CWTS, etc. will bring a collector in contact with the folks who supposedly have a strangle-hold on a particular coin series. These are great folks, true numismatists, and they eagerly share their knowledge! I've made some fine friendships among the ranks of these true numismatists who share the joy of others' learning, too.

Also, as this thread well illustrates, there are online resources aplenty for those willing to search and study. IMHO, the only strangle-hold we collectors face, lies within our own mind.
