[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 7946193, member: 105571"]I guess it depends on what information you are looking for. Maybe if you described your interest more narrowly, I could provide better information. As [USER=101855]@johnmilton[/USER] says, the Burdette book is pretty encyclopedic for all the US proof issues of 1936-1942. There isn't much you could want to know that you won't find there. For IHCs, the Snow books give a lot of information on the proofs of every year including die varieties. If you're interested in 19th century issues, like the Liberty Seated coinage, Bill Bugerts's books on the half dollars are excellent. They are available for free download through a link at the Liberty Seated Collectors Club website. The only mint and years not yet published are the latter half of the Philadelphia issues. For Liberty Seated dimes, you can go to Gerry Fortin's website and his dime die variety database. I think you can also access it through the LSCC website links. If you want less specialized information, Whitman's MegaRed Book and Whitman's books on specific series provide information on proofs as well as business strikes but not to the depth that is provided by more focused authors.[/QUOTE]
