Chump_Change Pillar of the Community United States 618 Posts	Posted 03/01/2009 1:29 pm Picked this up in a Pawn Shop/ Jewelry store. First one I have ever seen in person. Talked to the guy about helping with some coins for Dawson and he was a great sales man. I told him I would take it and I am looking at one of the walkers I also bought. He is over looking at the Large cent under the Magnifying glass and looks at me really puzzeled and tosses it to me and says its your Lucky day. I told him it sure is that is the first one of those I have ever seen in person. He tells me ya your right you don't find a quarter turned one very often.I had to answer with my expertise."What?" He probably thought you smart a$$. Then it struck me what he was refering to. I felt real intelligent. Now I am hooked and Large Cents. Also Picked up this Morgan in a different shop as well. Sorry, Just a new guy that is really excited. Report this Post to the Staff

jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 03/01/2009 5:42 pm First off, great start to a life long addiction. Secondly, there is no cure, all years of therapy on this site will do is expose you to many other kinds of coins to feed your growing addiction. Give up all hope and embrace the life. You are not alone, we are here with you. All this talk about large cents in the last week is going to force me to find my old Dansco and look at mine, and that will only lead to trying to fill those last remaining holes in the book.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 03/01/2009 7:07 pm I really like those large cents (big pennies). Wish the Mint would start making them again. For some reason coins like the Large Cent, 2 Cent, 3 Cent pieces are fantastic coins. Sort of like potato chips. You can't just have one. Report this Post to the Staff

When I look at the coin under my loop. I can see the center mark in the reverse and they are square with the coin. When I Flip it over the Center marks (looks like a bulls Eye target through a scope) and score line are way off on the obverse. also she looks like she has a cut in her mouth from maybe a die crack? Is this stuff normal? Report this Post to the Staff
JohnnyDJersey Valued Member United States 95 Posts	Posted 03/01/2009 10:17 pm Yeah I've got the large cent bug. As for me I'm just sticking to cents from now on. I collected almost everything else and sold everything but the cent collection when I got my house. I kept thoes cents though and now the large cent is my coin passion. Whats next? Maybe be Half Cents? I dont know. Report this Post to the Staff

I find them all the time in the junk bins at coin shows, and find myself buying even rough looking ones. Report this Post to the Staff
