<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 592633, member: 2972&quot;]He didn&#039;t add the date pics because his system of measurements is MORE accurate than any picture could be.&nbsp; It ain&#039;t optimal, and pics sure would be nice, but again, it is the coin that causes it, not the method chosen to attribute them.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the third time, the date helps narrow down the choices, but it is other attributes of these coins that confirms what the date narrows down.&nbsp; Even if Bob had included the date in the pics, it wouldn&#039;t help you identify coins from crappy eBay pics because the differences in date placement are so minute.&nbsp; Remember, these aren&#039;t Fugios with hand-made dies and huge differences in letter/device placement.&nbsp; These were steam-press coins with consistent devices and placement of the date by a logotype.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, Bob&#039;s book is not a supplement to other books, and on its own can be used to attribute those coins that have sufficient features to be attributable.&nbsp; IMO, it is far superior to those that preceded it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Blame the mint, not Bob, for the difficulty in attributing these coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Respectfully...&gt;Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
