Photos added on last post.
I have recently come into possession of a Dansco album of Large Cents, missing only the 1799 and the 1804. A client (non-coin) of mines' father passed away. He is entrusting me with the set.
I am interested in the boards' input on who might be an individual willing (for a fee, of course) to do the Sheldon / Newcomb attributions of the coins.
The coins range in grades from Fair to Unc, with the majority of the earlier dates being lower grades and the 40's and 50's having some very nice looking coins.
I have neither the time nor the resource material to do this myself, so I hereby put the call out to the valiant board Large Cent stalwarts for assistence.
I hope to image a few of the coins as time permits, or perhaps the trusted person who gets the job will do so in my stead.
All replies and PM's are greatly appreciated.

I am certain that such a thing could be done, but given my available time to play with coin photography, and my inferior skills in taking pictures, such a process would be tedious and unacceptably lengthy.
I will post some photos, but would prefer a highly trusted individual to fully complete the task.
Oh, and Joe - you are welcome! I have a few more when and if you are ready

pm sent.
Just an FYI - the Sheldon varieties end with the 1814. Newcomb variety numbers start with 1816. I assume you want all of them attributed, not just the Sheldon varieties. This would be a great opportunity for the right individual, but one that I am not fit (or worthy) to perform.
I'm going to send the set out to Dennis, and perhaps to Mr. Goodman for photography.
I took some pictures this afternoon, but for some reason my CF card reader on my home computer isn't recognizing the card. I'll reboot and see what I can do.

Both super choices!!!!!!!!
Really too bad about the scored reverse of the 1794 - frickin' kids in the 1800's...

BlindedByEgo, those are some pretty good pics.! Just real quickly- - the 1794 is an S-44 (common) and is a decent collector coin, despite the reverse damage. The 1850 and 1851 cents are both whizzed and recolored, unfortunately. I am confident of that although I will let you know for certain once I have the coins available for personal inspection.
