Matthew23 Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 11/28/2023 9:30 pm I'm trying to put a set of Large cents together and just looking for low grade stuff because of how tremendous of a price difference a grade or two is, does anyone have any good spots and online coin dealers, or anyone that would ship. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24894 Posts	Posted 11/29/2023 01:43 am Matthew, I suggest ebay. I had a low grade large cent whose date ended in 8, so I developed a "crazy 8s" fixation to get all of them - 1798 - 1808 - 1818 - 1828 - 1838 - 1848. All except 1798 I was able to acquire for $10 or less, with legible dates. All it takes is patience, watching auctions, and last second bids.

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 11/29/2023 7:55 pm I humbly suggest that you attend nearby shows and coin club meetings. Low grade material often languishes in dealer stock, and they'll gladly part with same at bargain prices. I've obtained many a great c/s, a.k.a. a damaged coin, that way. Also, meeting and networking with other collectors and dealers, face-to-face, will help. Oftentimes, they may even seek you out. I've had dealers seek me out at shows and club meetings.

TimNH Valued Member United States 416 Posts	Posted 11/29/2023 11:43 pm For low grade large cent lots, you really can't beat ebay. Tons of lots, day after day, I have a big bag that averaged well under $10 each. Very high cool factor for the dollar, most folks don't even know that cents were once giant like that.

Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 12/16/2023 1:48 pm I concur with ExoGuy along with patience. Should be easily achievable over time on a budget. I would research average prices, factoring in the key and semi-key dates shooting for a grade that would look appealing and consistant over the series. My opinion.
