I agree ... unless you want the early dates, too. Then you're gonna need two books.

For excellent info and detail on varieties, you can't beat Wright's book for middle dates. If that one appeals to you, go after Bob Grellman's book for the same detailed data on the late dates.

MacCrimmon

United States Large Cents, Volumes I & II, by William C. Noyes, and, you'll also need Grellman's latest edition if you are serious about Late Dates.

Coin Finder

I would concure with the Noyes book Breen is a great one for the early dates only.
