Yet another group numbering an even dozen presented itself today, with no duplicate dates. I calculate I spent 75¢ apiece for these, which given my recent experience is for me actually stepping up.

Within this lot, the 1888 seems to be in pretty decent condition.

The best date in the bunch, the 1894, isn't too shabby, either.

Check the letters in the Obverse (Vicky side) to look for letters that are doubled on the 1881. The 1894 might be the one worth the most (bottom left). You definitely need to keep going back to those stores.

After looking at the new photo of the '94, it appears that there is some environmental damage .. acetone might help it if it is still soft, but be careful and very gentile with something very very soft.

Very nice bunch of large cents, especially at that price!

I like your 1888. It has the broken foot on the N of REGINA. Those are a little tougher to find.

Can you post a photo of your 1881-H obverse? There are a lot of neat varieties for that year.

Thanks for posting the photo of the 1881-H.

Yours doesn't have any of the doubled letters okiecoiner was referring to above. Still a very nice pickup at the price you paid.

Although as a collector, I'm not by nature a completist, once I started finding so many large cents kicking around in the "bargain" bins, I decided to see if I could assemble a full set with only such being my source. Up to now, I don't believe I've paid more that $1 for any of them, with the only holes remaining in my Whitman No. 9061 being both 1891 varieties, the 1897 and 1900, and (this being a really tough one) the 1907-H.

My solitary rescue from the bargain bin today, but a pretty fortuitous one, I think.

Better date, traces of original luster on the obverse, with actually quite a bit remaining on the reverse.

As usual, I was able to pick it up for a pittance, 25¢ (US) in this case.

'94 is a relatively harder to find date. Look for the "bold" or "fat" 4 where the handpunch digit is in a different font, easily seen on the diagonal.
