<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 2989209, member: 21705&quot;]The standard had gone from Sheldon&#039;s Penny Whimsey (1958) to Breens Encyclopedia (2000) which is what I use along with online photos of the 2009 sale of the Dan Holmes collection at <a href="http://www.icollector.com/The-Pre-Long-Beach-Sale_as14916" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.icollector.com/The-Pre-Long-Beach-Sale_as14916" rel="nofollow">http://www.icollector.com/The-Pre-Long-Beach-Sale_as14916</a> .</p><p><br /></p><p>Now the Standard is a series of books By Bill Noyes who has published several volumes at different times, some by a year or two and some by series. I&#039;ve intended to add these to my resources, but they are a bit pricey as an upgrade. I always seem to find coins at just the time I&#039;m ready to add these to my resources.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also use Heritage Auction Past Sales to supplement inline resources I use for Identification. It&#039;s both helpful and sometimes gets me into trouble when I fail to note all uses of the die. For example, I paid way too much for a coin I identified as a 1794 NC-6 from the obverse because I supplemented my database with a better example of an NC-6 obverse from Heritage without noting it was used on the S-64 and S-65 as well. I wound up paying $350 for a common S-65 because I was so excited with my find that I failed to adequately research it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Such things happen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
