<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 926761, member: 3726"]Get a red book also - it will show pictures of the varieties. I would also use heritage for pictures - but get the book first. I agree with the recommendations. I use United States Copper cents by Newcomb but I hear the Wright book is better. I have found that the newcomb book combined with the grellman book to be easier to attribute the later date cents. My personal opinion - if you are just doing a dansco type album you could probably get by with just a red book but it will make it much easier if you get the books. The problem will be people using 1847 N-2 to sell a coin - you would be able to look up the variety. Plus even with pictures sometimes it is hard to recognize the difference. Learning from the books will make it much easier - plus you might be able to cherry pick some of the varieties.</p><p><br /></p><p>Which album did you get? My dansco album has 1834 incorrect. I would have to check it again(but one of the varieties is really tough and expensive) to see what it has listed. I also don't think it included all of the varieties I would include. At the end of my book you see the 1810/9 and 1817 15 Stars. Probably have a couple of others I need to add into the book(like 1807/6). See below for my album pictures. Just an average guy set.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/coinmarks/DSC00905.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/coinmarks/DSC00906.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/coinmarks/DSC00907.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/coinmarks/DSC00908.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/coinmarks/DSC00909.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/coinmarks/DSC00910.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/coinmarks/DSC00911.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
