[QUOTE="kanga, post: 8454119, member: 9270"]Just finished comparing the listings of Liberty Cap, Head Facing Right in Manley's book against those in Fuhrman's Volume 1 handbook. [I]Half Cent Die States[/I] by Ronald Manley was copywritten in 1998. [I]The Half Cent Handbook[/I] by Ed Fuhrman was copywritten in 2022. The Fuhrman book has quite a few more varieties list than Manley does. I'm going to lean on Fuhrman's book because the 20+ year difference could be largely responsible for the greater number of listings. My thinking is that more varieties may have appeared during that time period. Many of the "new" varieties in Fuhrman's book are listed as being R-8 which supports the idea of them having been found more recently. But the difference in numbers plays hell with the Cohen variety designators. I'll have to leave the resolution of that to the EAC people.[/QUOTE]
