I have heard so many good things about this book but until now all the listings I have seen online have been $100+. Was so happy to snag this copy for $40. Fingers crossed it is not a scam. It's a reputable seller so hopefully it will be okay.

Have any of you read this before? Did you enjoy it?

It arrived safely. Below are the photos from Chapter 1 and an example of the second half of the book where each page is dedicated to a particular coin.

Apologies if they are hard to read it was hard to compress under 300kb without sacrificing clarity. Should still be readable though.

Wish this book would be reprinted. Much better than the Red Book series that combines Mercs/Walking/Standing into one book.

I'm always interested in the design changes. I wonder how noticeable those are from page 6 and whether there are transition varieties, and if so, if anyone collects them.

It's one of the few books that DLRC (Publisher) never released publicly. Not a lot of books on the Walking Liberty halves either. Probably why it's so expensive, it's long out of print too. I can't recall when I last saw a copy for sale anywhere. I look at book all the time for adding to my own library or resale, and have well over 3000 volumes in my own library now. This one isn't in there - yet.

Charles Davis (noted numismatic book seller) last sold a copy (hardback) for $90.00 a few years ago, so you got a heck of a deal. Glad to see it arrived in great condition.
