[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 3196861, member: 19250"]"For seated half dime the standard references are United States half Dimes by Daniel Valentine and The Complete Guide to Seated Half Dimes by Al Blythe. Of the two I would recommend the Blythe book. Neither one is great but Blyhe is easier to use" I have a Valentine and yes if you're a novice and have no knowlege of the series the book will be pretty much useless for you. Given the time and some good specimens to attribute one can learn. Unlike other references the images or should say lack of good images makes it difficult to get a grip on what is being described. Of course it a reference book that is easy to find a copy even though like others on this series is out of print. I've had mine for years now but was it of print when I obtained it still new with plastic wrap on the book. Which just proves it's not that high on demand. As for the L & M and Blythe books hopefully one day they too will be in my reference libary.[/QUOTE]
