AgHoarder Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 03/22/2016 8:27 pm I remember reading on CCF once that all 1888s have some form of doubling but doubling on the 3rd 8 is less common. Just started picking up a few large cents here and there. Can anyone give me some info on this Large Cent? Thanks for looking! Report this Post to the Staff

canadian-varieties Pillar of the Community Canada 1442 Posts	Posted 03/22/2016 8:50 pm This will be 8/8 No.4 in my book (of eight total types). Somewhat scarce. R4 on Sheldon scale. Great pickup. Hold onto it. Edited by canadian-varieties 03/22/2016 8:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
AgHoarder Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 03/22/2016 9:07 pm Thanks for the info c-v. I haven't sold a coin yet so it's safe to say I will be keeping this one. I've picked my LCS clean of 5 cent varieties, I think I may start on the Large Cents. That thick 4 you posted is something I'll be looking for this weekend. Report this Post to the Staff
