<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bill in Burl, post: 1419372, member: 23692&quot;]Victoria Large Cents have been my passion for 40 years and I got into the 400-500 variety aspect of them for the last 20.&nbsp; Your write-up was nice, but your Vicky spec &quot;summary&quot; was taken from the 5 cent page, not the large cent page.&nbsp; Also, recent research has made the old 421,000 mintage figure for the 1858 to be grossly underestimated.&nbsp; There were certainly over a million of them struck.&nbsp; The brass 1859 remains the holy grail for collectors.&nbsp; I have over 5,000 Vicky Large Cents and boxed piles of Eds and Geos.&nbsp; Once you get into Large Cent varieties, you open up your collecting world to the equivalent of essentially new coin denominations .. say 4 cent or 7 cent pieces.&nbsp; BTW, I would highly suggest that Large Cent collectors pick up a copy of the 2011, 65th edition, of the annual Charlton coin guide.&nbsp; It has 80 of the most collectible/easily noticed varieties for the Victoria Cents out of the 100&#039;s to choose from.&nbsp; I was one of the co-authors of that section and it&#039;s a must-have for any large cent people.&nbsp; It was the first time that Bill Cross at Charlton allowed 3-4 collectors to actually prepare and choose content for the variety section, rather than someone in the publishing arm.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
