Hi Everyone, I have a good sum of bust quarters I have been attributing, but I find Browning's book to be very lacking, say in comparison to Don Parsley's book on Bust Halves. Does anyone know of a good reference book on these coins? I would tremendously appreciate any information! :hug:
Someone has recommended to me a pamphlet called "Variety Identification Manual for United States Quarter Dollars" it's by Jules Reiver, unfortunately, I cannot find it anywhere.
All of Reivers VIM guides were quite good, but all of them are also very difficult to lay your hands on. I have the quarter book somewhere but I can't lay my hands on it at the momet, and over the years I have purchased three copies of the half dime book. I've also learned that you do not loan these books out or let them get out of your sight. They have a tendency to disappear. The VIM books were all self published and probably not more than one to two hundred copies of any of them were printed. The only one that is easy to get right now is the VIM for the reeded edge bust halves and tha is because Heritage posted images of each page on their website back when they sold the Reiver collection. But now you can't seem to be able o find it using their search features. You have to know the proper URL to get their directly.
