<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BostonCoins, post: 1491645, member: 34720&quot;]Large cents are a GREAT series to collect. There are SO many things you can concentrate on. </p><p><br /></p><p>- You have the early Sheldon Varieties. These span from 1793 - 1814. Some are more rare than others.</p><p>- You have the Newcomb series. His varieties span 1816 - 1857. Again, some more rare than others.</p><p>- Completed date series. There are at least 8 varieties of design you can concentrate on. </p><p>- Error coins. There are dates over dates and such to go for.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I began seriously collecting Large Cents about 2 years ago. As Marc previously mentioned, Tom at LargeCents.net is a great resource for purchasing coins, AND, some great information.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just remember one thing..... collect the ones that really appeal to you. Maybe it&#039;s their design... maybe it&#039;s their look... or maybe it&#039;s holding something that old and imagining who may have held that coin two hundred years ago. </p><p><br /></p><p>I collect these coins not for a future investment... I realize that my coins will be worth more than what I paid for them, but it will probably be long after i&#039;m gone and turned to dust..... instead... I collect them because I enjoy them and hope to pass them down to my family in the future!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]190032.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]190033.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]190034.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]190035.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
