Large Cents are so cool. They're heavy. They're thick. They're old. They're the underdogs of surviving coinage. They're steeped in numismatic tradition.
Small Cents are so neat. They're intricate. They're petite. They're some of the most well executed designs that the US Mint has ever produced.
Show me what you got, and tell me why you think they're the best!

Me too! But my favorite is the Indian cent because I love the intricate design. Here's one of my favorites!
I also love Lincoln cents that are fully struck with gorgeous detail like this one
However, if I could have a whole collection of large cents that looked like this, I may change my mind!

I have given nice Indian cent collections to both my daughters, and still retain a few duplicates (triplicates, I suppose) of some higher grade semi keys......but NO ONE gets my large cents

Boone's Farm and T-Bird will do that. Stick to first growths.

Copper is very cool: I prefer BN and RB specimens
65RB with some red remaining. Low POP of 48/11/2 and C** verified. What's not to like, unless you're a Kool-Aid drinker.
64BN Cameo with Eagle Eye Photoseal and POP 1/0 in BN and 5/0 across all colors and grades for the year.
66RB that has nice color and is well struck. POP 11/0 (9/0 when first purchased) and C** verified.
I knew it would happen.
