Grading and provenance information has been cobbled together using the works of Del Bland and William C. Noyes, email solicitations, auction catalog research and cross-referencing. Some grading may not reflect Early American Coppers’ standards. Please notify us of any information/corrections you may have and/or wish to add. Email: larry1794@gmail.com

A bracketed (via …) denotes that coin was bid on, by an agent, for its ultimate recipient. (Bold print indicates coin was plated, and may be seen, in the associated catalog)
(Coins highlighted in blue are permanently impounded and not available to collectors) (Coins highlighted in gray have a pedigree lapse of 30 years or more or are otherwise suspect, and may, in fact, appear elsewhere in the listings but with unknown linkage. Pedigree strings have been lost and, because they were never plated anywhere, may prove impossible to restore except through perseverance and sheer luck. There is no 100% guarantee of the accuracy of listings!!!
