Featured Attribution Guide for early date large cents and half cents.

In another thread I posted an attribution guide I did in 1989 or 1990 (I don’t recall exactly) for Draped bust half cents. I also did a similar guide for large cents. There were a few positive comment so I thought I’d post the entire book here for anyone that wants a copy. Since the early 90’s some things have changed (my address, rarity ratings, there are a couple of new varieties) but the charts are still useful.

I sold these through Penny-Wise at the time and sold about 200 copies.

This is the entire book, as prepared in 1989.

I hope someone finds it still useful.
