<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 364181, member: 66&quot;]Toad, to answer your question about the defference between the Newcomb book and the Breen&nbsp; book.&nbsp; There is a BIG difference.&nbsp; The Newcomb book is old, out of date and difficult to use, but it is light years ahead of the Breen book because there is no Breen book for the late dates&nbsp; The only book by Breen on the Lrge cents only covers the early dates 1793 - 1814.</p><p><br /></p><p>HOWEVER, there are some MUCH better books than Newcomb on the middle and late date cents.&nbsp; For the middle dates you either want United States Large Cents by William Noyes ($100 from Charlie Davis), or The Cent Book by John Wright (Available from the author $125, or $100 to EAC members.)&nbsp; Both books are excellent and easy to use.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the late dates you only have one choice The Die Varieties of United States Large Cents 1840 - 1857 by J R Grellman and Jules Reiver.(Third edition available from Grellman for $100. You might find the second edition Attribution Guide for United States Large Cents 1840 - 1857 on the after market a little cheaper but it won&#039;t be quite as up to date.&nbsp; there is more die state information in the third edition and probably a few variety additions and changes.)</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want addresses for where to buy the books let me know and I&#039;ll provide them.&nbsp; (I tried a little on-line searching and didn&#039;t find any better prices for them.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
