How large is large?

The article states that the large cents measure between 27mm and 29mm, but without a ruler at hand, I don't really know how large that is. Is it as large as a quarter? -ErinHowarth (talk) 04:59, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

It's large compared to most coins. A quarter is about 24.25mm and a dollar coin is now 26.5mm, so it is larger than either. I suggest read articles about the coins of various currecies that have a table of the coins showing the their diameters, for example Coins of the Australian dollar or Coins of the Canadian dollar#Specifications.

Split the difference between a Washington quarter and a Kennedy Half. That's pretty darn close. Bobby ^{I'm Here, Are You There?} 15:43, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

multiple new articles

A group of new articles have been created for individual patterns, eg Liberty Cap cent, but seem to have less information than the main article. Maybe merges are needed - have tagged a couple, not the whole lot. PamD (talk) 11:33, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

You are correct. I will merge Liberty Cap cent now. --Mblumber (talk) 05:58, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

I edited the Classic Head page. It was incorrect in its information, grammar and spelling. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.50.4.4 (talk) 19:09, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Specifications of the Large Cent

There are numerous sources to get specifications for this coin. This information would be both useful and important.

These are three will-known and respectd sources of numismatic data. Any reasonnably well informed coin collector would know these sources. It is recommended that these specifications be included in this artice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tcassidycurtis (talk • contribs) 17:32, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
