Hope you guys are done for the day. If I messed up being a couple hours early I'll try to get back and re post and delete but I am busy tomorrow and I only have this one for my type set. I wanted to be a part of the great study topic.   |

Teach me something here jfransch......What is a Davingnon? The coin is obviously counterfeit. Is Davingnon a system of attributing counterfeits?

I blame today's purchase on Moe ...  I stopped into a local coin shop and spotted this book. It is not the one that was recommended earlier in this post but I hope it is a good one also. Most times I don't buy things with out checking them out, but looking through it made me want it. I hope $45.00 was a good price. Does anyone else have this book. The Ultimate Guide to Attributing Bust Half Dollars by Glen R. Peterson M.D.   |

The Ultimate Guide to Attributing
Bust Half Dollars
by Glen R. Peterson M.D. No, not me. I'm sorry Goldrush58 I cost you money...  I don't have that book. Mine is the Official "United States Early Half Dollar Die Varieties 1794-1836" Fourth Edition by Al Overton's Son-in-law Donald L. Parsley. (I tried to get the 3rd Edition but they are few and far between...) Yours seems to have some really nice pictures. I might have to get that! The book I have has some picture problems. They seem more like drawings or faded pictures of the die marriages. As I've said before too, I like the pictures and variety descriptions on Coinzip.com, http://coinzip.proboards.com/index.cgi . You have to register but it's free. Edited by Moe145

I've heard of the book, but don't have a copy. Looks like it might be an interesting especially with the close up pictures.

Davignon authored a book "Contemporary Counterfeit Capped Bust half dollars". It is like the Overton guide only for all the known contemporary counterfeits. It came out in 1996 and caused a big surge in popularity. Fascinating reading and really fun to collect, although in the last few years they have become as expensive as the real coins. When I was acquiring mine in the late 1970's they were often given to me by coin shops where I was a regular for free or sold for 1 or 2 bucks apiece. Most dealers had one or two and it seemed no one wanted them except me.  |

Am I getting this book right. Are you all using the "TI/position star pointing sytem to identify the "O"
number then confirming with the die markers ..
I am sure I will have to read this section a few times
