UNITED STATES LARGE CENTS 1793-1794

No significance is attached to the relative position for coins of equal condition.

(Bold print indicates that the coin was plated in the associated sales catalog)
(Coins highlighted in blue are permanently impounded and not available to collectors)

(Coins highlighted in yellow are those which could be the same specimen - see below)

 

 Coins listed as [no Noyes photo] may, in fact, already be represented as another coin. Some cents have not been seen for many years and have never been plated in any catalog; these coins will be difficult, if not impossible, to associate with ownership trails other than by finding traceable envelopes, flips, etc. This project has enabled the piecing together of many lost ownership trails.

                                       The following note accompanied the offering of this coin in Lyman H. Low’s 1905 sale:

“A statement accompanies this cent, that it was found in the old United States Hotel at Chester, Penn., when demolished some years ago. Both Washington and Jefferson were patrons of this hostelry, and on the way to their southern homes it was their custom to make a halt there, sometimes occupying a certain room jointly. It was in this particular apartment that the cent was found. Possibly George and Thomas were matching or tossing pennies, and in the excitement that followed, this one rolled away unnoticed.”
