Wasn't there a specific name for a hoard or group of large cents with substantial die cracks around the peripheral area of the coin?

    The Randall hoard of large cents had dates 1816, 1817, 1818, 1819, 1820, 1825... The 1820 variety Newcomb 13 found in the hoard has a complete cirular die crack on the obverse.

    Dave---Great looking coin! Those die cracks really give it some personality.
