early large cents,
By Basil Woolf (Dunedin, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Penny Whimsy A revision of Early American Cents, 1793-1814: An Exercise in Descriptive Classification with Tables of Rarity and Value (Hardcover)
the copper cent output of the early philadelphia mint was severely hampered by dies of poor quality materials, a new die could break after just a few pieces were struck,the dies were repaired using parts from other dies, thus striking a new coin that differed slightly from the original piece,the original,in fact became a rare coin as only a few pieces were struck, even though it was possibly a common date! Dr Sheldon in his book Penny Whimsy,spent a lifetime cataloging each coin struck,and assigning a rarity number. An ideal research book for the large cent collector,you may have a rarity and not be aware of it!

This is THE cornerstone of any library for collectors.,

This review is from: Penny Whimsy A revision of Early American Cents, 1793-1814: An Exercise in Descriptive Classification with Tables of Rarity and Value (Hardcover)
Penny Whimsy is the essential reference for people interested in collecting early U.S. cents. Sheldon writes in a very entertaining and informative manner, even if his subject is very detailed. Please contact me if you want any more details on Penny Whimsy. This is NOT a price guide -- it is much better. Not an investment book! Just a book for real collectors!

This review is from: Penny Whimsy A revision of Early American Cents, 1793-1814: An Exercise in Descriptive Classification with Tables of Rarity and Value (Hardcover)
The book is a detailed evaluation of the early large copper cents. I've begun collecting these and the book if of invaluable help in studing these "Early American Coppers" which they are referred to. I'm glad to have found a copy available and will continue to use this referrence tome.
