If you want a buyer, it should be in the BST

I could be wrong, but my sense is he posted here just to show us his Large Cent collection, which is a very nice collection, and he is rightly proud of it. I do see his auto signature, showing four successful transactions, but many U. S. Coin Forum members use a similar auto signature.

For the time being, I’ll run with my interpretation, share a comment, and then assume that it’s a post for us to also show ours.

@Coinslave87, you’ve put together a real nice set. I especially like those from the 18th Century, as I own none going that far back.

For Large cents, I only own four, all part of my Registry Dansco 7070 Set. Here they are:

For this 1814, it’s actually a Plain 4, NOT Crosslet 4. The slab coin number is incorrect:

Very nice though the Chain Cent looks a little suspect.

I started a set like this once, but didn’t make it very far. Most of my dates were VG-VF.

Cool old school set. Well done!

Your comment reminded me of a time back in college over 50 years ago: “I started to write a drinking song once, but didn’t make it very far. I couldn’t get past the eighth bar! Also at that time, most of my dates were only VG-VF”, lol.

Cool set. The fake 93 is a distraction though.

I know! It was tongue in cheek!

I worked on this set (album) a long time ago. Probably the most fun I ever had building a set. Trying to find all of the different types. I had a couple auction catalogs that had excellent images to try and find the Medium date, Tall date, Mature, Petite etc. Back then almost everything was raw and you just searched for the dates and tried to determine which "variety" they were.

Never did complete (missing the 3 1793's, 1799 and 1804). Sold it in 2003.

Nice set!
It’s apparent that you have put a lot of effort into building a respectable collection on a budget. Well done, and I bet you have learned a lot during your journey.

Nice looking set. Sets like this take a lot of effort. Congrats on what you have completed so far.

I only have 6 pieces showing some of the major types as part of my U.S. Type set.
