Recently Bill Noyes has published a new book, United States Large Cents 1793 - 1794. It has descriptions of every 1793 and ’94 large cent variety and die state with pictures in full color. There are also lists of the finest known examples of each variety with pictures of well over 80% of them. The grades to each piece are assigned using EAC standards. Reading and looking at it is really an education in our first large cents.
The book is not cheap. It costs almost $200 including postage, but to me it’s worth it since I can’t afford to collect “the real thing.”

Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible.

Sure you can. Just sell some of your 1795 - 1799 modern crap / widgets.
My 1793 Chain cent (S-4), which no great shakes (NGC VF-30, it's only a 12 or 15 in my book) would now cost $30 K. My 1793 Wreat, which is an S-11C, is in an NGC AU-50 holder. It would need a tail wind to hit EF-40 in my book. That would cost me perhaps $20 K to replace.
My 1792 disme is worth maybe one and half nice early 1793 large cents.
No collecting early large cents by die variety is for collectors with net worths in the many millions of dollars.

NGC graded it VF-30, and I agree. It's in an "old fat slab."
We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
