[QUOTE="kanga, post: 25329050, member: 9270"]But it's still a chore. I've got an 1852 that's giving me grief. There are 19 Newman die varieties and I haven't IDed mine yet. (1851 has 45 die varieties; that's a real problem for me at my age.) I've got 3 guides but they are tough for me to deal with. - William Noyes' [I]Unites States Large Cents[/I] six volume set (1793-1857) - John Wright's [I]The Cent Book 1816-1839[/I] - John Grellman's [I]The Die Varieties of Unites States Large Cents 1840-1857.[/I] I'm sometimes tempted to ship them off to PCGS or NGC and let them do it for me. But I'm not ready to give up yet. Or I could go to the EAC convention next month and see if I can get one of the members to walk me through the process on a couple coins. But I don't travel very well anymore. Anyway I'll keep plugging away at it. I think the more I do it, the better I'll get.[/QUOTE]
