<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2368924, member: 66"]I'm not sure if it is a conclusion or not. One more thing I could see for the next step after Grellman would be micrographs of the points and die lines and other diagnostic features for each variety along the lines of Peterson's Ultimate Guide to Bust Half Dollars. I'm not sure if it would work well as a printed book but it might work well on a computer or tablet. The images wouldn't be of much use for initial attributions, but could be very useful for final confirmation. The identifying features of the late dates are typically too fine to be seen on images of the whole coin, even if enlarged. But if it says "points up from top of E" and you have a sharp image of just that area, it could be show full screen without pixelation and allow you to see exactly where those points are and what they look like.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
