Large Cent Descriptions - 1861

I recently came across an Almanac from 1861, which included a 2 page article on large cent varieties by year. Below is a scan of the title page, along with pages 30 and 31, which contain the article of interest. My favorite quote from the article is "a perfect series of good specimens must always be an object of interest, and when the copper cent ceases to circulate, it may be to some a cause to regret that they neglected to secure a collection while they yet had the opportunity". I hope that you find it interesting. Happy collecting.
