Message:: [QUOTE="gronnh20, post: 2826737, member: 73224"]Thanks for all the replies.  Sorry I didn't get back to this yesterday.  But, the first half of the morning I went through every 1848  large cent that was listed on E-Bay.  I knew there was going to be that cherrypick of a lifetime.  Nope.  Didn't happen.  I think there was around 1050 listed.  Some, there was no way to attribute.  It was fun.  I did see one overdate.  I didn't buy any. I did pick up an 1855 upright 55 this morning.  I wasn't really looking to buy, but, the coin was underpriced and the seller under graded the coin.  The coin also had very few contact marks.  So, I couldn't resist and bought it.  This coin will already upgrade the coin in the 7070.  So, today is time to add more items to my store to feed my addiction.  My store is mostly for my coin money.  So, I have to keep it stocked if I want more coins. Thanks for the heads up on the books.  I already spotted a Newcomb book.  I'll look for the Grellman also.  I do have the first edition of the Mega Redbook.  It has an expanded section on large cents.  It has rudimentary info, but, it has kept me informed on retail pricing and a few of the more common attributions.  That is what got me going on the 1848 counterfeit coin yesterday.[/QUOTE]
