Looking for a good Half Cent/Large Cent website

I need info on Sheldon varieties, die pairings, etc. Something that goes deeper than the red book. Just got myself a pile of both and I'm looking to figure out exactly what they are. Can't seem to find a site that breaks down every pickup point etc. Anybody have links?

    Coinsfacts seems to have some of the info you are seeking.
    I don't really use it for large cents though, as I have the reference books (and auction catalogs) that I need, and I've gotten accustomed to using them.
    Hopefully someone else will chime in with other websites for you.
    It sure sounds like a fun project - a pile of half cents and large cents that haven't already been attributed!
    Bear in mind that Sheldon only covers the early date cents from '93 to 1814....after that Newcomb takes over for the middle and late date cents. And Cohen is what you want for half cent varieties.

    THANK YOU. I was getting lost in all the different names involved.
