<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 26143510, member: 101855&quot;]The Randel Hoard covers cents from 1816 to 1820. The 1818 and 1920 seem to be the most common dates. There are many die varieties within that period and a good number of them are not part of the hoard. Some of the die varieties are even rare. I tracked one down for a customer who gave me a want list, but at was an isolated incident. </p><p><br /></p><p>I put this set together for me when I was in the formative stages of large cent date collecting. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1668971[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>1816. This date is popular because it comes right after the year 1815 when no large cents were issued. It&#039;s the only year in which no cents exist with that date from 1793 to 2025. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1668972[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>1817</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1668973[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>1818 This one was a wedding gift from my wife. I picked it out. You will note that it also has a circular die crack which is common for this coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1668974[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>1819</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1668975[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This 1820 was in Ted Nafzger&#039;s collection. He had great coins. This date is super common, but Nafzber noted in the envelope, which I have that it was an exceptional example of a common coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>After 1820, the Mint State coins are harder to find. This 1821 is nice, but it&#039;s not close to Mint State. This is somewhat better date. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1668976[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
