Clapp & Newcomb, following up on previous individual contributions The United States Cents Of The Years 1798–1799 (#83) & The United States Cents Of The Years 1801–1802–1803 (#94), teamed up here to fill the remaining holes in their penny board of early large cents. In conjunction with other works, this offering completed by date the comprehensive treatment of early large cent varieties. Sheldon's Early American Cents (#16) consolidated the whole picture two years later, though sadly Newcomb did not live to see the masterpiece, or even this volume as it was published posthumously by the American Numismatic Society. Clapp & Newcomb’s previous works on early large cents, combined with this, were neatly repackaged in a 1976 reprint, edited by Denis Loring and published by Quarterman.
