[QUOTE="kanga, post: 912007, member: 9270"]I've got books for some of the sets I'm collecting. Since one of my recent coins was a Classic Head half cent AND I've got Breen's half cent book I decided to try again. I had a terrible time with Morgans and VAM identification. Never really made progress. My Classic Head half cents are now all ID'ed with only one that was a bit tough. Now I'll work on my Braided Hair set and then the few earlier ones I have. Nice part is that they are all XF or better so that wear hasn't wiped out some of the PUP's. Then I'll give Capped Bust half dimes a go (I have Logan and McCloskey's book). THEN after hopefully gaining enough experience and confidence I can go back and do a better job with the Morgans. Plus revisit my 2-cent coins and maybe do better with Flynn's book. BTW when I get to doing the Morgans is there a person or two here who can get me over the rough spots. It appears there were a LOT more dies used to strike them. The VAM book presents SO much info that I get overwhelmed.[/QUOTE]
