<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 26014231, member: 66&quot;]My goal for the year is the same as it is for every year, to get at least one coin for my early date Large Cent die variety collection.&nbsp; And I&#039;ve already succeeded.&nbsp; Picked up a 1794 S-46 on Jan 2.&nbsp; Getting new pieces isn&#039;t easy.&nbsp; There are 295 Sheldon numbered varieties (including one I feel is a pattern and one that is &quot;not a mint product&quot;.&nbsp; So that leaves 293 varieties and I have 270 of them.&nbsp; It has become so hard that I have had to start branching out into the NC varieties.&nbsp; When Sheldon was cataloging the die varieties, any variety that had 3 or lest specimens known in collectors hands was not included in the regular numbered run.&nbsp; They got their own NC numbers.&nbsp; NC stood for Non-Collectable.&nbsp; There are 60 NC varieties.&nbsp; When I started collecting the early dates by die variety I knew I would never be able to own an NC they were just too rare/expensive.&nbsp; Today I own 15 of them.&nbsp; I have my eye on one Sheldon numbered variety and three NC&#039;s in The Steve Ellsworth collection Heritage is selling tomorrow.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
