I don't collect but they are my favourite to purchase, research and resell. Sometimes, I wish I kept some that I have sold! That one is a beauty!

Nice! So unlike that seller to start such a coin at 99cents ;)
Haven't upgraded or updated my large cents in over twenty years,still one my favorites to look at.

A year ago I filled in my small cents from the last fifteen years. I am only missing a couple of coins in the small cents. Then my dad gave me four large cents which I had not been collecting.
I decided to go for those too so in the last 12 months I have been working on my large cent album. I just completed it last month. The 1858 was the expensive one. I decided not to bother with the 1859 varieties, nor the 1891 varieties; but it is kind of neat to say that I have at least one coin from 1858 to 2012 in each of the years pennies were made.
Because small cents was my first collection as a kid, that collection is nearer and dearer to me than the large cents, even though I put double the money into the large cents.

Large cents are my favorite of all the coins.
They are what got me started as a young lad.
I have only been into the varieties for the last year.
There sure is a lot to know.

I've got at least one from every year they were minted, in EF or better, but I haven't got the varieties yet. I've got my hands full trying to keep up with the small cent varieties and errors. Nice coin, artdio! |

I've just started buying some on ebay recently, I really like the look they have and also the fact that some of them are more than 100 years old. I'll be looking to add to my collection a little at a time, hopefully I can find a place in Montreal (& surroundings) that could supply me with some of them at a decent price. |

Yesterday, I sort of added 45 Vickies to my 3 large cents  ... paid something like $5 per coin. I usually prefer quality over quantity, but since they were not too bad (VG+), and there are so many varieties, I thought it would be really fun to identify/grade/play with them before possibly reselling them  . Here is a link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/32134571114....m1439.l2649PS. Yes, I know, I overpaid. Again.  |
