Early Half Dollar Die Varieties 1794-1836 by Al C. Overton

I am looking to purchase a copy of this book. There is currently a revised edition (I assume that means 2nd edition) that I've found for sale, but I need to know how big a difference there is between the 1970 (revised ed.) and the 1990 (3rd ed.) editions of the book. If the differences are mostly minor, I'll just get the older one, but if the differences are significant then I will wait until I find a newer one. So, my question is does anyone know how much was changed/added between the 2nd and 3rd editions, and if you do would you please share your knowledge with me.

Thanks in advance,

Get the new one. I think the pictures are larger and better.

 

Thank you both for the help.

Conder101 what does your sig mean?




edited for spelling error

 

First it's Conder not Condor. Easy mistake to make and most everyone does.

I am a collector of Conder tokens, 18th century Provincial Token coinage of Great Britain. Here in the US they are known as Conder tokens after James Conder who not only issued tokens himself but who also wrote a reference book on the different varieties in 1798 that remained the standard reference for the series until the Atkins book was published in 1890. When I joined the Conder Token Collectors Club Iwas the 101 member just missing the Charter membership list which cut off at member 100. So I am Conder101.

Opps I goofed I thought you meant my name. The sig referes to my research into all of the different thrid party certification services and all of the different holder/certificate varieties that have been used over the years. I published a book on all of the varieties back in April of 2003. The sig you are currently seeing is outdated and needs to be revised. Currently I now have listings for 108 companies and 308 production varieties.
