Book excerpt: Excerpt from Varieties of United States Cents of the Year 1794 Described and Illustrated IN view of the growing interest shown by Americans in our National Coinage, it is taken for granted that a work treating exhaustively on an important division of the subject will be received with pleasure by collectors of United States coins. Among the regular series of the United States Mint, the early copper issues have always attracted the special attention of collectors. The remarkably appropriate and sufficiently diversified designs, the relative abundance of the issues, and the varieties in dies have proved an attractive field of investigation, and will, no doubt, continue to absorb much of the attention of present and future collectors.
