Bust Half Fever arrived today. Signed by the author....I hope I am worthy. This seems to be an area of collecting that is rather intense and serious.
Yep ! A nice, l-o-o-o-o-o-n-g while. Maybe we'll get a few more threads of the "attribute THIS !" kind...
Ed, is a class guy, I am sure you will enjoy the book. I have read it several times and use it to help in my little game of search and attribute. Want some real fun, go to ebay, and start attributing there. Good Practice. Make sure you check out coinzip.com. Most of the BHD guys hang out there. Ed happens to be one of many. There is another gentleman there his name is Ed R. is really helpful and I think he told me he has 425+ of the BHD varieties. Great resource for learning and asking questions. They even have a few decent moderators over there. Some you may even recognize.
Thanks for the suggestion about e-bay Jim...great advice. I've been over to coinzip as per Bones advice and did indeed recognize a few folks but I think I'll lay low.....real intensity there. I'm just easin' my way in. Can't wait for the Overton book to arrive.
I'd recommend Glenn Peterson's "The Ultimate Guide to Attributing Bust Half Dollars" as an invaluable companion to all of the other sources listed about. You've been bit. Good luck! Just stay away from bidding on the coins I'm going after, OK?!? zap
