Born in New York in 1948, Jeffrey D. Gresser is a long-time Las Vegas resident who began collection Lincoln cents in 1959. Having recently joined Early American Coppers, he attended the 1986 Robinson S. Brown, Jr. auction where he purchased an 1817 15 Stars (N-16) large cent. He went on to form a high-grade set of 1817 large cent varieties. American Numismatic Rarities sold his middle-date and late-date large cents in August 2004. He retired in 2008 and has worked in the coin business since then.
