<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1436976, member: 66&quot;]Walter Breen Encyclopedia of Early United States Cents 1793 - 1814</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally one of my favorites is either the 1986 Robinson S Brown or the 1989 Jack Robinson catalogs from Superior.&nbsp; Every Sheldon numbers variety, most of the NC&#039;s, all pictured with the diagnostics listed for each die.&nbsp; The Jack Robinson sale also has more die states so you can see more examples.&nbsp; Both catalogs also have all but two of the middle date varieties pictured and described as well.&nbsp; The Jack Robinson sale also has most of the half cent varieties too.&nbsp; The Jack Robinson sale is almost a replacement for Penny Wimsey, Newcomb, and Cohens Little Half Sisters all in one volume.</p><p><br /></p><p>The down side.&nbsp; It is the pinnacle of 1980&#039;s catalogs.&nbsp; Actual size images and while they are clear they are halftones which means you can&#039;t magnify them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second option is the Dan Holmes I sale from the Goldbergs.&nbsp; EVERY early date variety, pictured in large clear color images (2 - 2.5 inches or larger) that can be further magnified&nbsp; (The Holmes catalog is online.&nbsp; Check it out, you&#039;ll like it.&nbsp; <a href="http://images.goldbergauctions.com/php/toc_auc.php?site=1&amp;lang=1&amp;sale=54" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://images.goldbergauctions.com/php/toc_auc.php?site=1&amp;lang=1&amp;sale=54" rel="nofollow">http://images.goldbergauctions.com/php/toc_auc.php?site=1&amp;lang=1&amp;sale=54</a> )&nbsp; Downside, the dies aren&#039;t described like the Robbie Brown and Jack Robinson sales were.&nbsp; The ideal would be the images from Holmes, with the descriptions from Brown.&nbsp; I&#039;m in the process of creating just that.&nbsp; I have all the images from the Holmes I and II sales, and I have copies of the Brown and Robinson catalogs.&nbsp; I just have to meld the two together.&nbsp; Unfortunately all of it is copyrighted by others so I can&#039;t produce it as a marketable product.&nbsp; Of course you could make your own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
