tonphil1960 Valued Member United States 382 Posts	Posted 03/03/2007 4:23 pm Since I have been gone so long just thought I would ask the question again now. Any Large Cent collectors out there in Community Land. I love the old coppers myself they have character. Tony Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/03/2007 4:58 pm I had one: I gave it away here at Coin Community. A deal for another one has just been closed, and the coin will be appearing here when I receive it. It's a Silly Head, Tony, and I suspect you'll like it. Report this Post to the Staff

tonphil1960 Valued Member United States 382 Posts	Posted 03/03/2007 5:45 pm Great coin Dave, My collection runs from 1816 Coronet to 1857 Braided, far from complete though. Been working on it a while now. The varieties were killing me so I am keeping with the year set theme. I am happy with G to F depending on the coin. Love em old and brown and crusty.

Irishraider Pillar of the Community United States 1454 Posts	Posted 03/03/2007 7:59 pm Got a few but for the most part to get really good examples takes a little too much money for me. 1838 G-4 1844 G-4 1845 VF-20 1846 G-4 Report this Post to the Staff
Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 03/03/2007 8:45 pm Tony, I love them too, but for a different reason. I purchased this one recently: Image Insert: Image Insert: Just could not resist it. But, because of this coin my wife has started collecting. She feel in love with it and large cents. Now my darling and I share the passion and I am loving it. She has been my pal for 25 years and it just keeps getting better. Jim Report this Post to the Staff
Gary Burke Rest in Peace United States 3730 Posts	Posted 03/03/2007 9:44 pm I only have two of them, but I love them. They're great to show to kids, who have no idea that "pennies" weren't always the current size. Report this Post to the Staff
TSmith3510 Valued Member United States 455 Posts	Posted 03/03/2007 10:37 pm Jim1953, that is one nice coin. 200 years old, what history!! I would like to add some more coins to my collection from the early 1800s or late 1700s. Report this Post to the Staff
tonphil1960 Valued Member United States 382 Posts	Posted 03/04/2007 06:04 am Nice to see some Large Cent fans. Jim that one is nice. Great your wife is collecting too. My wife used to go to shows with me,(used to) she went but did she like it? This remains to be seen. For me the Large cent is history in my hand and no other series can be collected in the early 1800's as affordably as these. Irishraider, I just stick with G to F, I never spend more than 30.00 on one, it's the only way I can afford them. Some might think that's alot but compared to other coins it's not really.

trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 03/04/2007 07:46 am Nice coins , hoping to get some for my collection. I've got a better shot at getting large cents than getting the wife interested. Report this Post to the Staff
AuldFartte Pillar of the Community United States 830 Posts	Posted 03/04/2007 11:28 am I collect Large Cents, though I only have a handful right now. I sold a bunch of 'em about a year and a half ago to fund some other purchases. I wish I'd have kept them all ... Here's some of my favorites ... Report this Post to the Staff

Ralph Pillar of the Community United States 1582 Posts	Posted 03/04/2007 2:30 pm I've only got 18...so far, but I do like those old, big copper coins. Mine range from 1802 thru 1851, and I intend to get more as time goes by, but they're not the focal point of my collection, so I just pick one up, now and then, when I see what I think is a good deal.

tonphil1960 Valued Member United States 382 Posts	Posted 03/04/2007 2:48 pm Hi Ralph, I have about half of the year set, from 16 to 57 so I am just picking away at it too. Tony Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/07/2007 5:34 pm Yes I like large cents! I mainly do the early dates. I just added this one to my draped bust set. First variety I've been able to add in nine years. I now lack just five varieties of having all of the Sheldon numbered varieties from 1795 through 1814. Over all I have about 257 of the 295 varieties. My next goal will be an S-1, the first chain cent and the only one of the four that I don't have.
