MikeF Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 12/13/2018 6:45 pm Just got the first shipment of large cents in after many, many days of searching. Which websites do you guys recommend for identifying varieties? Or would you recommend purchasing a book? Report this Post to the Staff

johnjkedel Pillar of the Community United States 594 Posts	Posted 12/13/2018 9:45 pm I agree that books are the best way to ID these coins ... but ... this site is a pretty good one to ID most varieties from someone's personal collection. I like to use it as a quik guide. Let me know what you think. http://www.largecents.net/collectio...otoindex.htm Report this Post to the Staff

cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2362 Posts	Posted 12/15/2018 10:35 am I also prefer the books and have three. Sheldon for the early years, Wright for the middle years, and Grellman for the later years. The web sites that were suggested will also help to determine the coin's variety. I use them after looking at the book. I'm not an expert but I find it easy and fun working with the earlier years. Once you get to the 1840's and beyond determining the variety can get very difficult. Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win". Dream On by Aerosmith Report this Post to the Staff
