    I've got the Red Book Guide for Shield and Liberty Head Nickels but it's useless for Shield Nickel varieties.

    There's a 1995 book out there but that's information that's 25+ years old.
    Is there a newer book/guide for this series?

    I use Fletcher and NGC Variety Plus

    Thanks.
    I saw Fletcher mentioned but didn't find the book.
    And I didn't even bother to look at NGC Variety Plus which is obviously a mistake on my part.

    Hmmmm, it seems that the Fletcher book is in the same category as Azpiazu's Collector's Guide to Modern Federal Reserve Notes/Series 1963-2009.
    There's none available for sale.
    (I've got the Azpiazu book.)

    I picked up a beat up copy and sold my better one on ebay. Sorry. It sold quick too.

    There's another book titled THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO SHIELD & LIBERTY HEAD NICKELS.
    I just ordered a used copy.
    Maybe we can compare coverage when mine arrives.

    And so my numismatic library grows a bit larger.
