westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9796 Posts	Posted 03/02/2013 2:33 pm ProfLiz - what reference books do you find the most useful in early coppers like this one? I have Breens Half Cent book (really like it) looking for his Large Cent book), Noyes book on the way from a dealer, Sheldon/Breen Penny Whimsy of course, but wondered what you like? Since you seem to have a great eye on these Half Cents. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

mkman123 Pillar of the Community United States 3184 Posts	Posted 03/02/2013 3:17 pm the change could have to do with how conservative they may have been in the past and how tight on the grading. I've seen PCGS older holders grade something and then when cracked go up a few points as well. Report this Post to the Staff
ProfLiz Valued Member United States 373 Posts	Posted 03/02/2013 6:29 pm Hi, westcoin- I have Breen's and Cohen's books, and refer to them often. I would really like Manley's book, but haven't found a copy yet. I will admit, I am not a variety collector, unless it's a naked-eye obvious variety. (That's part of what I love about Half Cents - there are some awesome naked eye varieties: 1802/0, 1808/7, 1809/6, 1804 spiked chin, and the queen of them all: 1828 12 stars!)

ProfLiz Valued Member United States 373 Posts	Posted 03/03/2013 12:05 am westcoin- Well, I am too new a user, so the system did not allow me to send you email. However, I have re-set my account profile to allow CCF members to send me email. I'd love a lead on the Manley book! Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
