Please help on this if you can.
I have been trying (very unsuccessfully) to purchase one for a long time as these coins are my favorite in the collections. My most recent no-win was:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Overton-Ear...refresh=true

This is the second time this same seller has put up one of these and at the end of the auction the SAME buyer won, at least according to the feedback score. In case you don't know, I was the 2nd highest bidder, AGAIN.
Does anyone know any place else I can purchase one. My LCS has not located one for over a year now. I feel like an idiot to post images of 30 of these and wonder about varieties.
Thank you for any help or advice.

Check abebooks.com there are several available....there is a 4th edition by Parsely for $75 and Als editions for $90+. I have heard mixed reviews on the 4th edition. I currently have the revised (2nd) ed. but have been told the 3rd ed. is a bit better. I would just put up the extra dough...trying to win one of these on the bay could prove a challenge.

Thank you very much Amida. Each auction I've bid on was the 2nd edition. I'll look for the 2nd or 3rd editions. It seems like I should start buying as many as I can, someday these will be worth much more than the coins themselves.

Amida, I have found these two and I really don't know which to purchase. One says 3rd edition the other says nothing. If you can advise which to purchase, thank you again for your help. I just really do not know the difference.
