CoinWeek: Collecting Large Cents by Type

This video is made possible by the generous support of Early American Coppers. If you collect large cents and half cents, there is no better community of collectors to be part of. Visit www.eacs.org to join.
In this video, we break down what it takes to pursue one of the most exciting type sets in the U.S. series. Large cents were struck from 1793 to 1857, when the Congress eliminated the large one cent and half cent coins and opted for a smaller one cent coin. The Lincoln cent that we use today traces its roots to this pivotal moment in numismatic history.
