Jules began collecting coins at age 7 and became a specialist in early American copper and silver coins. In 1960, he was arrested for refusing to surrender a $10 gold certificate in his numismatic collection. The charges were dropped and a law was enacted permitting collectors to hold gold certificates. He wrote 5 books on coins, including U.S. Early Silver Dollar 1793-1803, which won the 1999 National Literary Guild Award. He was appointed to the Citizens Commemorative Coin Advisory Committee to the U.S. Mint, serving from 1996-1999. A frequent speaker at numismatic conventions, he did coin appraisals both locally and nationally, and wrote auction catalogs for special coin sales. The United States large cent was a coin with a face value of 1/100 of a United States dollar. Its diameter varied between 27mm and 29mm. The first official mintage of the large cent was in 1793, and its production continued until 1857, when it was officially replaced by the modern-size one-cent coin (commonly called the penny ). The Coronet cents were redesigned in 1835 by new Chief Engraver Christian Gobrecht. This last major change to the coin updated the obverse by giving Liberty a slimmer, more youthful appearance. Minor tweaks continued through 1843, and the 1843 design prevailed through the end of mintage in 1857. Some 11 years after the large cent was discontinued, a mint employee coined several large cents dated 1868, almost certainly for sale as instant rarities to numismatists. Fewer than a dozen of these unofficial issues, struck in both bronze and copper-nickel, are known to survive. A wonderful addition to any collection!
