[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1492046, member: 26302"]ALways remember large cents/colonials are on the dividing line between US coins and things like ancients. What I mean by that, (and not trying to insult anyone), is with large cents and colonials you will need to deal with more problem coins, research and availability of books and knowledge are very much more important than when collecting other US coins. You begin to seek out more books, old auction catalogs, understand that the coin you just found for sale you may not find again for sale at any price in the next five years. This is much different than completing a lincoln cent collection, which every single date will be available at every show you attend, its only a matter of being able to afford them. People talk how 09sVDB is a rare coin, no its not, its an expensive coin. Large cents will have you experience what a truly RARE coin is. :) Its just a slightly different type of collecting, that appeals to a slightly different type of collector. I am not saying either is better, just different. However, once you start enjoying large cent collecting, you may become more vulnerable to being seduced by ancients. Its all in my master plan, muwahahaha. Chris[/QUOTE]
