[QUOTE="CrustyCoins, post: 619304, member: 19115"]Unfortunately I don't think you will find what you are looking for so easily. I am doing a paper on the Half Eagles and historical facts on each date but the research is intense and takes a lot of time. Roger Burdette is very close to what you are looking for and focuses his books more on history than coin details but he starts his research a bit after the classic heads and I believe focuses more on silver but gold is included. It would seem that many books, AKERS included, just focus on mintage's and typical anomalies for the date and mintmark and give up on the historical part, basically just small blurbs to hold your interest. There are no books currently other than breens encyclopedia that cover the Classic Head Quarter Eagles and that is only partial at best when it comes to varieties. John McCloskey, by my estimates, should be publishing and in depth classic head variety book in the next year or two.[/QUOTE]
