Do you prefer a verbal description such as "Fouth denticle has missing corner" or do you want to see a picture? Of course, these books get fatter as new varieties are identified and catalogued. On the other hand, it is to the point where people are cataloguing die states: each noticeable difference in die wear gets an entry. If your Bust Half collection is "busting" the seams of Overton's First Edition, you have a doff of my hat. Are you in the John Reich Society or the Bust Half Nut Club?[/QUOTE]
