Perhaps the best-known student of large cents, Delmar Norris Bland was known as "Del" to his wide circle of friends. Bland was born at Orange, Texas on October 26, 1933, and died at Stanwood, Washington on October 16, 2018. He was a Korean War veteran who served in the Army. Bland maintained meticulous large cent provenance data and provided his condition census of the early cents for Walter Breen's Encyclopedia of Early United States Cents 1793-1814. He also maintained half cent census data. When he wasn't researching early copper, Bland played competitive basketball until age 75.
From The Collections of Walter J. Husak and The Liberty Cap Foundation.
