zakgold Valued Member United States 382 Posts	Posted 02/20/2005 08:38 am I like the Young Head...why? It is because these are the first coins my late grandfather gave me (1850 and 1852) which really sparked my interest in coins. To have a cent almost the same size as a quarter really peaked my interest. Report this Post to the Staff
crystalk64 Pillar Of The Community 3147 Posts	Posted 02/20/2005 10:12 am I will have to go with the Large Cents! The classic head is probably prefered by the young head is what I tend to see the most of. I have started a large cent collection numerous times in the last 30 years but always give up and sell them as I am so attracted to silver BUT I have the large cents going again and hopefully this time...?

Kyra Pillar of the Community United States 867 Posts	Posted 02/20/2005 7:31 pm I like the Indian Head cent, the Flying Eagle is a close second. The wreath on the IHC reverse is just so cool- what with all that detail. That and on very rare occasions I get the thrill of finding one in someone's change. I think I've found eight in the 5+ years I've been at the bank. Rachel [:p] Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 02/20/2005 8:11 pm Its hard for me to choose, but I think the Indians are probly the most beautiful in high quality,, the History of these coins civil war, the age of industrialisation of industry, and the movement of people with the land grabs and homesteading,, just a real cool era of US history.
