That is one exhaustive list, Penny Lady, and thank you so much for posting it. Here are my only two thoughts: The Complete Guide to Mercury Dimes is now on it's second edition; not sure if that should have been editted within the list or not. And I'm not sure how good it is and I'm really debating on ordering it but the Franklin Half Book entitled The Complete Guide to Franklin Half Dollars by Rick Tomaska is out there. I'm not really sure how great of a reference book this is as I'm currently trying my darnest to see if it has components that would interest me as a collector, but the reference is out there. Thanks again for the great list.

 

I was also going to recommend adding Tomaska's Franklin book - which is an excellent reference by a nice guy! If you are at all interested in Franklin's, dimeguy, I highly suggest picking it up - it is the best book by far about Franklins. Its in its second edition currently, but a third is coming soon.

Another Franklin book I find indispensable is Treasure Hunting Franklin and Kennedy Half Dollar Doubled Dies, by Flynn and Wexler.

For Capped Bust Halves, I also highly recommend you add Bust Half Fever by Edgar Souders - a highly regarded book on the topic.

For Peace Dollars, the Whitman Red Book Guide to Peace dollars, by Roger Burdette, is a tremendous book full of original and interesting research that pretty much re-writes the standard story.

 

For those of you who have suggesed additions to the list, can you please provide me with the complete title, name of the author, and year and/or edition of printing of the book. Thank you.
