http://imgur.com/a/9YrOQ#0This is a link to a photo album of my LC date and RedBook variety set. I've been working on this for about 2 years now. I'm aiming for problem free affordable grades. I know I still have some tough holes to fill and a couple of upgrades to make, but all in good time. Just wanted to share, thanks! edit: (changed link to album format) Edited by algol

Nice collection. Like the idea of putting an 1800/1799 in the 1799 hole! Think I'll do that too. Too bad there isn't an 1804 overdate!

Algol, you have been here a number years.  Great way to show your Large Cents.  |

My first post here; let's see if I get it right. Nice large cent collection. You've bit off a BIG chunk of work (and money). My large cent collection is limited to two areas: -- Braided Hair Large Cents (1839-1857) in VF/XF/AU - 75% complete based on the Red Book entries. -- Type Set - one of each design based on the NGC Registry; missing a few of the 1790's era designs. |

Impressive! But why are they rotated every which way?  |

Very nice. Agreed that you might not be as OCD as many of us ... I do prefer my album coins to be oriented in typical coin alignment.  David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

nice coins; I think I'm putting together a short series , but just something like 1847-1856 maybe in the XF range.
And what is with the haphazard rotation?

Nice set (especially the 179X's) Quote:
But why are they rotated every which way? My guess is that due to wear and minting techniques of the time etc combined with the fact that Dansco cannot cut 2 holes the same diameter to save their life all you have to do is pick up the album and the coins rotate (my Franklin album has the same problem) |

Nice set of lg cents, I like the early dates the best. I'm doing the same. I have put halt on my set for the time being. Baring the two 57's, lg and sm date, I'm complete from 1823-56. I haven't attributed any of the varieties yet but I will one day. None of the albums made for the Lg cents have the right size hole, if I'm not mistaken the mint changed the diameter about three or four times during the coins run, so hence the holes are all the same size causing the annoying rotation...

Glad I am not the only one that the rotation was making their OCD twitch, I so wanna fix it.

The S-196 is an 1800/79 overdate.
No such DBLC as 1800/99.
The S-188 is a 1799/8 overdate. Only overdate involving this year.
Great looking collection so far! Thanks for sharing.
