<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 928282, member: 66&quot;]I can&#039;t tell for sure if it is N-19 or N-(21) (Late dates can be VERY difficult to attribute from photos.)&nbsp; I am leaning toward N-19 but I don&#039;t see the repunching at the top of 856.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the early and middle dates pictures of most of the varieties can be seen on the Coinfacts website.</p><p><br /></p><p>In addition to the books mentioned there are also some VERY good auction catalogs as well.&nbsp; The Dan Holmes sales or the Ted Naftzger sales are excellent (and visible online at the Goldberg&#039;s auction website)&nbsp; The Holmes catalogs have GOOD pictures of ALL of the varieties and the Naftzger&#039;s have most of the varieties.&nbsp; The downside is the catalogs do not list the diagnostics for each variety.&nbsp; My favorite for that is either the Superior Galleries 1986 Robinson S Brown Sale or the 1989 Jack Robinson sale.&nbsp; All the Sheldon numbers, many of the NC numbers, almost all of the Newcomb numbers with every coin pictured and the diagnostics of each variety given.&nbsp; Those two catalogs are attribution guides in their own right and if you can find copies they&#039;ll cost in the neighborhood of $25.&nbsp; The down side is the printing technology a quarter century ago was not up to today&#039;s standard.&nbsp; The pictures are decent quality but actual size, and the resolution while good for the time is blown away by the pictures in today&#039;s catalogs.&nbsp; (I use my copies of both of them frequently, I slightly prefer the 1986 sale, and I have spare copies of them because I use them until they are falling apart.&nbsp; I got them back when the sales were still upcoming and I have been using them even since.&nbsp; After 24 years use they are just a stack of individual pages now.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
