This page is dedicated to everything related to the collecting of early United States copper
coins, with an emphasis on Large Cents. Large Cents were produced in Philadelphia between the
years of 1793 and 1857.
My specialty is collecting the early dates, 1793 to 1814, by Sheldon variety. A variety is
simply a coin struck from a unique obverse/reverse die pairing. There are 295 different Sheldon
varieties in all. Currently I have 278 of the 295
Sheldon varieties. All are photographed and described under My Collection. (If you just want to
see photos of the coins, go to Photo Index instead.)
Enjoy your visit!
