[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 4978405, member: 105571"]The one I use is: [I]The Encyclopedia of United States Silver Dollars, 1794-1804[/I] by Q. David Bowers C2013 Published by Stack's Bowers Galleries I purchased mine directly from Stack's Bowers last year and IIRC it was about $75. It was new and had a nice signature plate inside the front cover that Mr. Bowers had signed. I think this is the latest update on the series. BB is the Bowers-Borckardt number and is the latest die variety nomenclature. B is the earlier Bolender number. There is an even earlier Hazeltine number. This book gives you all three for each die variety so you can cross-reference if you see a coin with only one descriptor.[/QUOTE]
