[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1599532, member: 75105"]So I've found out there are four editions of the UNITED STATES EARLY HALF DOLLAR DIE VARIETIES book. According to collectors the 4th edition contains numerous errors, and they prefer the 3rd edition. I cannot find the 3rd edition, ANYWHERE. I've tried Hastings, abebooks, alibris, booksamillion, Barns And Noble, Amazon, half.com, and eBay. The last mention of this book selling occurred in August on eBay. Then, there is yet ANOTHER book on bust halves, specifically one written by Dr. Peterson, this one only covers capped bust halves, which are the halves I collect. I do not collect draped bust or flowing hair due to cost. But, I've read both sides of an argument, some say the one by Dr.Peterson covers more, others say the overton book covers more. So, as a Capped Bust half collector, should I get a the 3rd edition of Al C Overton's book, or the one by Dr.Peterson? Also, if anyone has a lead on EITHER book, PM me, I greatly appreciate it. Also, does the Overton book or the Peterson Book mention GRADING.[/QUOTE]
