Robert C. Clark joined EAC in 1978. Working in financial services, he has collected and owned numerous Condition Census large cents. Among the coins bearing his pedigree is the Marsh specimen of the 1794 Starred Reverse cent, S-48, a coin previously handled by this cataloger (MRB) and his father in 1985. Bowers and Merena sold his collection of 104 high-quality large cents at the 2000 ANA Convention sale. At the time, Clark noted that some collectors have an "O-Four Dollar" but he has a "Dollar-O-Four." He is currently building a second collection.
