<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2106309, member: 66&quot;]If you want to put some work into putting it together, your best bet might be to create your own digital reference.&nbsp; The Breen early date book is available on line but the photos aren&#039;t good.&nbsp; Same comment for the Newcomb book.&nbsp; But if you take the text from those and combine them with the images available on line from the Dan Holmes sales you would have exactly the references you are looking for.&nbsp; I recommend the Holmes collection because it has really good images and his collection had all be three varieties, 1793 NC-5, 1825 N-5, and 1851 N-42.&nbsp; The 93 NC-5 is unique and in the ANS collection.&nbsp; But it IS pictured in the collection.&nbsp; the 25 N-5 was just recently rediscovered after the collection was broken up, but can be &quot;reconstructed&quot; because it has the obv of N-4 and the rev of N-10 which are both pictured.&nbsp; The 51 N-42 is unique and was in the collection of a collector who refused to sell it to Holmes to allow him to complete the set.&nbsp; So effectively images of ALL but one of the large cent varieties are available.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Full color yes, but they all look like cleaned brass.&nbsp; The photos aren&#039;t bad, but the color rendition is horrible. Those circulated copper coins should be brown not yellow. And color images aren&#039;t always as good as B&amp;W for seeing detail.&nbsp; For example the bust quarter book has some beautiful colorful images, but I find the toning often makes it hard to see the relationship details.&nbsp; A B&amp;W image of a less toned coin would actually show the detail better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
