<p>[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 592600, member: 12965"]I use CoinFacts pics all the time for attributing earlier large cents and I have a starting point, depending on the type and once I find one with that feature, I then start looking at the rest of the attributes and eventually find the right one but many times the date is crucial, since the reverse is similar on many varieties and BHC's are a perfect example of that. The reverse on each year is practically identical, except for minute details but then, like I said, you can't use Bob's book alone for attributing BHC's on Ebay, due to the average poor pic, yet, the only reason they can't be attributed is because the date is missing on the pics because the date is an attribute of them so why did he not include the date on the pics? He could have left out the reverse pics and added the date to the obverse pic and they'd be attributable but he didn't include the date. Why? :goof:</p><p> </p><p>Can anyone say that the date isn't an attributable attribute of BHC's? :whistle: If you can't, which would be the correct answer, then why leave it off? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Bob's book is more of a supplement to other books but that means you have to buy two books and like another post discussing which is the best book to buy, there isn't a good answer to that question, since there isn't ONE book that covers them sufficiently. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
