NEW EDITION OF BOOK!

The Ultimate Guide to Attributing Bust Half Dollars, by Glenn R. Peterson, M. D., hardbound.  3rd edition, new printing.  When Dr. Peterson was learning the Bust half dollars, he asked some veteran collectors and dealers about their attribution methods.  He was told to develop his own system.  This book documents Glenn's "system" and avoids the frustration when using one of the other guides to attribute, for example, an 1827 half (49 varieties!)  It also includes an updated price table for each year's varieties in the various grades.  List price is $125, get it here at a significant discount!   NOW IN STOCK!

  Early United States Dimes 1796 - 1837, by David Davis, Russell Logan, Allen Lovejoy, John McCloskey, and William Subjack. Out of print.  This one is for the budget collector - - it has no dust jacket, has been used and has a few pan and pencil notations (most of which amplify the pick-up points for varieties).  A couple pages are dog-eared or smudged, but the binding is intact except the top 1/2 inch.  Looks better than it sounds, and all of the information is still there.  We only have one and it is ON HOLD.             $195 Used

The Authoritative Reference on Lincoln Cents, by John Wexler and Kevin Flynn, First Edition (1996), NOT the new Second Edition.   The Second Edition was recently released, and in my opinion based on a review of both editions, there is not much new in the second edition.  In any case, this book is in near-new condition, and I will sell it for less than half of the price of the 2nd edition.  At this low price, there will be no returns allowed on this book.              $15 was 20
