[QUOTE="kanga, post: 2116648, member: 9270"]Thanks to all who looked. Happiness is when everyone likes what you bought. And particularly to KS and Jim who took the time to ID the dollar. Plus added some of the diagnostics. As for the large cent, you may have noticed that I refer to the set as a Red Book set. That's because I use the Red Book to guide me to what is a "complete" set. Sometimes after that I'll get the definitive book(s) and try for a "total variety" set. -- I've got Grellman's book on the Braided Hair Large Cents but decided a "total variety" set is too much. -- I've got Snow's guide to FE's and IHC's but from what I understand that's a moving target; new varieties keep showing up but there is apparently no updating procedure for the guide (except buy a new one). -- I've got the Logan/McCloskey book on Federal Half Dimes plus the older Valentine's book; for a while I was working on the Capped Bust issue (1829-1837) and am 55-60% complete but the effort got put on the back burner when I started my big push for my type set.[/QUOTE]
