<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Prethen, post: 58733, member: 1756&quot;]There&#039;s only one book that&#039;s even remotely helpful with early proofs and that&#039;s Breen&#039;s book on the Encyclopedia of Colonial and U.S. Proofs, 1722-1977 (or 1989...same books essentially except for several errata pages).&nbsp; They&#039;re out of print but obtainable on eBay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rick Tomaska is apparently working on a new Early Proof book and it will take a year or so before it&#039;s out.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you can get a hold of the Feb 7-21 editions of Coin World, I did a 3 part series on Early Proofs to get you acquainted.&nbsp; Also, the July edition of the newstand (only!) verion of Coin Values had an article I wrote on Early Proofs that incorporated some of the Coin World stuff plus some embellishments on the proofing process, toning, and grading.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
