Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 07/09/2011 3:44 pm Hey all!! I presently collect 1/2 cents and Large cents but I would like to expand my collecting horizons. I am thinking about getting involved withe the 2 centr's, a nice short group. I have a lot of reference material for the early coppers, and I was wondering if there was at least one book on 2 cent pieces that would show any obv/rev die match-up, apparent die states and other info. Pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. KK Report this Post to the Staff

nolawyer Pillar of the Community United States 763 Posts	Posted 07/09/2011 4:30 pm You may want to contact the author at this site: http://kevinjflynn.com/index.html I believe he just finished a 2 Cent Reference Guide. I do not think it is listed on his web site yet, but he is advertising it on other message boards. I have never read one of his books so I can not comment on the quality of his guides.

Penny Guy Pillar of the Community United States 531 Posts	Posted 07/09/2011 7:06 pm nolawyer is correct. Kevin Flynn's newest book, "The Authoritative Reference On Two Cents Coins" is now available. I can recommend it. It contains most of the material from his earlier Two Cent book "Getting Your Two Cents Worth" as well as much new information. If you have an interest in Two Cent varieties, this is the book for you. I can also recommend "The Two Cent Piece And Varieties" by Myron M. Kliman. This book will introduce you to identifying obverse and reverse die charachterists and die marriages. You can read a short introduction to the Two Cent series here: http://www.numissociety.com/content...o-Cent-Piece Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/10/2011 06:22 am I know of four books on the Two Cent Pieces and all of them discuss the die varieties. The Flynn books are probably the best, I just don't know if they are comprehensive or if the only cover the "sexy" varieties. Report this Post to the Staff
Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 07/10/2011 7:19 pm Thanks for the input. I located Kevin Flynn's website, e-mailed him and will be sending my check off for the soft cover version. I'm not sure if I can post the information on the book as to content, cost and ordering, due to the commercial nature. If anyone would like the information PM me, or if the moderator allows it I'll post it. KK Report this Post to the Staff
Penny Guy Pillar of the Community United States 531 Posts	Posted 07/10/2011 7:55 pm By way of example Kevin Flynn's new book lists 26 examples of Repunched Dates, for the year 1864. It is quite detailed, a seperate section deals with Doubled Dies. Report this Post to the Staff
