<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 1097906, member: 25270&quot;]I have been trying to complete a set of large cents, 1816 to 1856, for under $15 each. (I&#039;m just aiming for one of each year, not each variety). I know I won&#039;t get the 1823 for this price, but I have managed to get all the rest except one: 1855. I don&#039;t know why but I just can&#039;t get this coin. I have bid on probably 20 different versions on eBay and I get outbid every time. This coin isn&#039;t worth any more that most other large cents from the target era, so it is something of a mystery. The big difference I have seen though is that there are very few 1855s in poor condition. Obviously if I&#039;m paying $15 a coin, I&#039;m not going after the pristine ones, and I have always been able to find a decent, affordable coin for every year, but it seems like every 1855 is in teriffic shape. This probably sounds weird, but I wish there were some more worn ones out there so I could finally finish this collection off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
