<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 142532, member: 66"]Yes that is the late date book. There have been two editions. The first was a looseleaf version that had both authors. I didn't know if the second hardbound edition had both or not. It is normally just referred to as being by Grellman so I wasn't sure if Reiver was involved with the second edition.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are having problems with the 65 edition then it is probably a matter of practice, Either that or you are trying to attribute very low grade coins (when Sheldon wrote the book coins in Fine were cheap and his descriptions were usually taken from Fine or better coins. Lower grades may have some of the diagnostic features missing. Practice helps with this.) Or you are trying to attribute 1798's or 1800's which still give me fits after over 20 years. Of couse I'm normally doing very low grade coins and the fact that many of the 98's and all of the 1800's reverses were made from the same hub,[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
