DoubleEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1750 Posts	Posted 05/12/2015 2:52 pm Yes, it even solved some problems with the 3rd edition. Its basically a 3rd edition with corrections, IMO. I have a 3rd edition, but I really dont use it anymore. I use the Overton 5th edition in tandem with Dr Peterson's fourth edition to attribute bust halves.

Here's some...... http://coinzip.com/bustieguide/ http://coinzip.proboards.com/ (Forum with a list/descriptions of the die marriages. Also with member provided pictures) http://www.maibockaddict.com/ Even with knowing these, I refer back to the book. Report this Post to the Staff
Wizzy1 Valued Member United States 430 Posts	Posted 05/13/2015 9:28 pm Thanks AcesKings that's great. Not that I don't want to read or purchase Overton's book, but I've read it's "difficult" to use. And I've read the Peterson book is much easier to use but not as thorough. And sorry I hijacked SSK's thread. Report this Post to the Staff

DoubleEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1750 Posts	Posted 05/13/2015 10:12 pm The Overton book is a lot easier to use than the VAM book for Morgans, IMO. I really adapted quickly to it. What it does lack is specific pictures to illustrate the defining characteristics of each DM. Dr. Peterson's book makes up for that deficiency. The two complement each other very well.
