<p>[QUOTE=&quot;World Colonial, post: 2421369, member: 78153&quot;]Except for the coins preferred today, not in the lifetime of anyone reading this topic.&nbsp; They are far too common to sell above nominal prices.&nbsp; By preferred, I am referring to current in vogue specializations such as toning, FS, &quot;grade rarities&quot; and a very limited number of die varieties.&nbsp; The series is near the bottom of the preference scale and it isn&#039;t by random chance.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for large cents, they may appreciate but I doubt most will much in constant value as they have in the past.&nbsp; In 1975, my step grandmother gave me an 1803 large cent that was a VG by contemporary grading standards.&nbsp; The retail (Red Book) value was $10 which is what I received for it in a trade.&nbsp; In the last few years when I checked the Heritage archives, graded examples were selling for $100 to $300, depending upon variety.&nbsp; This coin and all other early large cents are a lot less affordable to most collectors now than they were in the past.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
