<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1928617, member: 66&quot;]The problem with Penny Whimsy is the pictures are actual size which can make it difficult to see the differences clearly.&nbsp; Also if you have the 1990 edition the images are so under exposed and dark that they are almost impossible to use. (the first printing more so than the second, but the second printing isn&#039;t very good either.)&nbsp; Earlier editions are better.&nbsp; Most people like the 1976 edition the best but I an partial to the 1958 and 65 editions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other than the Penny Whimsy or Bill Noyes books, there is the Breen encyclopedia of early date large cents 1793 - 1814, and the Dan Holmes I sale catalog from Goldberg Auctions.&nbsp; The only major shortcoming of the Breen book is that there are four photo errors which leave two, maybe three dies unpictured.&nbsp; Ideal would be the descriptions from the books with the images from the sale catalog.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
