<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 1136020, member: 6036&quot;]Well, since our man Leadfoot played the Dan Holmes Large Cent card, I suppose I&#039;ll follow suit.</p><p><br /></p><p>For those of you who don&#039;t know the story, Dan&#039;s collection was the most complete set of Large Cents by die variety ever assembled. Yes, Dan&#039;s collection was more complete than the greatest of the greats, such as Sheldon, Robinson, Noyes, Naftzger, and Huzak. </p><p><br /></p><p>With over 900 known varieties, Dan assembled all but 2, both of which are unique. One of those, a 1793 Wreath Cent, is in permanent lockdown in the ANS museum; the other is a Late Date in private hands.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dan is getting on in years and has been auctioning his collection. His Early Dates (1793-1814) were sold in September 2009, the Middle Dates (1816-1839) sold in May 2010, errors September 2010, and finally the Late Dates this last January.</p><p><br /></p><p>Earlier, Mike posted a Late Date from Dan&#039;s collection - the 1843 petite head small letters. I&#039;ll follow with seven more, starting with this 1846. This one will stay home with papa - for good !</p><p><br /></p><p>Live it up, copperheads ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
