you might as well start getting the large cents now! canada cents are easily finished without costing a fortune and I love the looks of a victorian penny esp the 1858/59 obverse

@gidgit I actually ordered an 1859 large cent as I thought it was really pretty.

Large cents are hard for me as I don't have many locally. I'm not saying no, it's just not the next set after Liberty nickels.

If you ignore the varieties (I don't collect them), the 1858 is the mot expensive one, but maybe 1/10 of the US 1909S VDB.

Back to small cents :) another letter from Canada coming in today :)

It's sad but I paid almost as much for shipment as for the coins I was missing.

Woo Hoo, more coins! I had ordered the 1990 and some one gave me one, so I have 2 MS 1990. No big deal. I love me some coins.

Another day, another letter from Canadá. I still have 2 more. All low cost coins but not one person had all so I did one small order (all those came in) and a large order and it went to 5 different sellers on ebay. Still have 2 not come in yet.

It's pretty cool getting a coin almost every day :)

This letter isn't as pretty as the others only 1 stamp :( (what did people do before USPS informed delivery, you actually had to wait by the mail box before you knew what was coming... crazy!)

For your small cent collection, be sure to post it when it is completed... and which ones you would like to see upgraded. We can't make any promises, but if you participate in the "Secret Santa" next year, you just might get some upgrades...

I'm pretty happy with what I picked up, most are in MS and the ones that aren't are all VF to AU, so its a pretty nice set.

Now if we were talking about large cents ;) that may be a reason to do "Secret Santa"
