<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1332012, member: 66"]Newcomb can be used for the middle dates without too much trouble. In my opinion it is actually an easier read than Overton. But the lack of good pictures is a SERIOUS drawback. Think of trying to use Overton without the pictures. mark_h seems to like it for the late dates but frankly after reading it over I would use it myself for them. I will stick with Grellman for those.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Rarities are always changing, and usually getting lower. Some of the rarities in Wright are probably wrong now. The latest rarity information can usually be found in one of the Copper pricing guides, Penny Prices, or Copper Quotes. But they will cost you $50 to get a copy. If you want to do it the cheap way you go look at the archives of the most recently auctioned major collection because the latest rarity rating is almost always listed for each variety. For the middle dates go to the Goldbergs auctions site and check the auction archives for the Dan Holmes II sale. It also has the advantage that since Dan had a complete middle date set it can also be used as an attribution guide.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
