Then there is Grellman for the late dates. There is also the Dopper Anthology, which was edited by the late Herb Silberman and the late Warren Lapp.

    There's more, but those will keep you busy for quite a while.

    Join Early American Coppers (EAC) and acquire back issues of Penny-Wise - it's the best Large Cent college tuition money that you can spend.

    The Noyes books; U.S. Large Cents 1793-1814 and U.S. Large Cents 1816-1839 are nice too.

    Excellent for attributing your coins.
