<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom B, post: 1824201, member: 11854&quot;]Both Dave Kahn and Rich Uhrich have been carrying this book, but I expect others may have copies, too.&nbsp; We were selling these for about $60 per copy and they sold out <i>quickly </i> on our end.&nbsp; I mentioned it previously, but will do so again; when we started to sell this book at the Philadelphia ANA in 2012 I had <i>dozens </i> of collectors pore through the book and then ask a price.&nbsp; When told the price they nearly unanimously said they were interested, but I only sold <i>one </i> copy to a collector.&nbsp; In contrast, when I told dealers the price nearly <i>every </i> dealer stated &quot;it&#039;s a bargain&quot; and purchased at least one copy.&nbsp; I left the show with fewer than two dozen copies remaining in my portion of the inventory.&nbsp; Shortly after the show I was all out as each major auction house and coin grading firm got in touch with me and purchased multiple copies.&nbsp; If I recall correctly, Dick and I published perhaps 500-copies of the first edition.</p><p><br /></p><p>We later had seven individually numbered leather-bound copies made.&nbsp; Dick has one leather-bound copy, I have another (copy number one) and I gave one out as a gift.&nbsp; I know where three of the remaining four copies went, but do not know who obtained the seventh leather-bound copy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Attributing RE half dollars is <i>much more difficult </i> than earlier half dollars, but your appears to be a GR-13, which is an R1.&nbsp; It has reverse K, but this was paired with obverse 10 and obverse 11 and in your image I have some doubt about which obverse you have.&nbsp; However, it looks more like obverse 10, which is why I call it a GR-13.&nbsp; This die marriage comes nice and is quite common.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
