I borrowed Newcomb a few times from the ANA library in the late 80s but could never get the hang of it. Bought Noyes and @John Wright Cent Book when the were 1st published. I don't do much with Large Cents anymore but I usually turn to John's book first if I want to attribute a middle date
I do not know whether or not ANACS loans their books in their library, but I doubt it. They have a location in Centennial, CO (just outside of Denver) with a library that they allow people to use. I appreciate all of your comments. I will definitely have to go take a look for your book on the NNP, Mr. Wright! I appreciate you telling me that.
It is good to know these resources. I am still very new to identifying large cents, and I find it difficult to know where to even look on these images to compare them! I know a lot can be identified by date position in relation to the hair, but that's about it. As I practice more and more, I will continue to look at these references. Thank you for sending them my way.
