[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 18189390, member: 101855"][ATTACH=full]1537075[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1537076[/ATTACH] This one came from the Dan Holmes collection. He was a one time president of the Early American Coppers Club. He built an outstanding set of the Sheldon and Newcomb die varieties. [ATTACH=full]1537078[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1537082[/ATTACH] Sometimes you need to know something about die states to grade a coin properly. I thought that this piece, which is graded MS-66, Brown had an obverse planchet defect. Later I found out that it is a lamination or chip in the die. [ATTACH=full]1537083[/ATTACH] And this is just a very nice late date large cent. I have been working on a date set, but I've had to drop back from coins like this. They are too expensive and hard to find. [ATTACH=full]1537093[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
