<p>[QUOTE="beef1020, post: 2999263, member: 24544"]Gronnh, congrats on getting bit by the copper bug. Looks like you are getting into attributing late dates. If so I can't encourage you enough to get Grellman. In regards to the 1852's, there are 19 business strike varieties and one proof only variety. Newcomb did a great job on classifications, but he made some mistakes which have since been corrected, and updated in Grellman. The N13 you found is really the last die state of N12. N2 is a late die state of N1, N9 is a late die state of N22, and N19 has never been seen and has been delisted. Additionally, since Newcomb was published a new variety has been found, and labeled N23, currently an R5 and worth a healthy premium over common varieties. </p><p><br /></p><p>If this is an area you are getting interested in, Grellman really is the only serious option. I know people balk at the price, but the value of the information contained far exceeds it's purchase price. Congrats on the coin and best of luck on your variety hunt, it's a great way to collect!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
