Hflirn Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 02/17/2015 04:07 am I would like to have a detailed book on the Seated Liberty half dollar series. I do enjoy the design and made it a point to have it in every denomination. I have been wanting to get some info on the dies/die pairings used for some of the harder to find varieties. The methods I use to look for such varieties are pretty crude right now. I picked up an 1873 and 1877 Half the other day. I believe that San Fransisco had their own dies for this series. I purchased the 1873 No Arrows because I enjoyed the fact that it had historical significance and also because I thought it had some similar die cracks, lines, gouges, as the 1873 S With Arrows. Again, my information has come from one online source and looking at an MS 65 1873 S Arrows example on PCGS. Not exactly the most scientific way of going about things haha! Any thoughts on a good book of reference would be awesome. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 02/17/2015 12:12 pm There are books on the series The Complete guide to Liberty Seated half dollars by Randy Wiley and William Bugert This book can be found for free on line http://blog.davidlawrence.com/index...alf-dollars/ This book covers the series date by date and included information on many but not all die varieties. For example for 1861-O it lists four varieties one of which was struck by the Confederacy. There are now 15 known varieties and six of them were struck by the Confederacy. William Bugert has also been writing and selling books on the Seated halves (Book for each mint) that includes all the known varieties. These are only available directly from Bugert Report this Post to the Staff

There are four volumes out. Vol. 1 San Francisco Vol. 2 Carson City Vol. 3 New Orleans 1840 to 1853 no arrows Vol. 4 New Orleans 1853 with arrows to 1861 Report this Post to the Staff
