The One Hundred Greatest Items Of United States Numismatic Literature Rank: Number 82


Volume Two of Noyes picks up the large cent series with the middle dates, following up on his work on the early large cents, United States Large Cents, 1793–1814, (#53). Both books were released at the same time, and the formula for the pair is identical – masterful photography with clear explication of the varieties for each date. Condition consensus data for the middle dates is less established than for the prolifically pursued early dates, but Noyes’ presentation is no less polished. The book is a necessary “go with” for Newcomb's United States Copper Cents 1816–1857 (#17), even preferable if the collector desires only a single guide, as variety attribution will be greatly facilitated by Noyes’ oversized photographs.
