<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 2108640, member: 17665"]For you and Chris...this was also my first book but I had an earlier edition. Poor Mr. Spadone was laughed out of the numismatic community by newer up and comers for his listings of minor errors. I won't mention their names but today they are some of the most well known and supposedly most respected today, shame on them. If any newbies should be able to acquire any of his editions, I believe they would be an excellent tool to start with. After Mr. Spadone passed away, his family was left with boxes and boxes of his books to try and sell for a fraction of what he paid for them up front. He completely financed his entire project with his own money. I still have my copy and would not part with it for all the oil in Saudi Arabia. He was way ahead of the error pack for his time and has all the respect in the world from me. Here is my copy plus look at the price on the second photo of the 1943 copper cent! This is a 1967 edition.[ATTACH=full]398035[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]398036[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
