<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gronnh20, post: 2085517, member: 73224&quot;]Thanks McBlzr.&nbsp; Sometime this week I will order a book.&nbsp; I had to go back and look in my grading book to see if I missed the Overton numbers by mistake.&nbsp; But, there are none listed.&nbsp; The reference, Overton, Al C. <i>Early Half-Dollar Die Varieties 1794-1836</i>, Colorado Springs, CO, 1990, was cited and I just didn&#039;t even go look for it.&nbsp; I believe I read somewhere that this book is difficult to find.&nbsp; There is a more recent book by Peterson, Glenn R., <i>The Ultimate Guide to Attributing Bust Half Dollars, </i>Rocky River, OH, 2000, that had also been cited in the grading book.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I was looking at some registry sets on PCGS last night and very few of those have Overton numbers listed on the label.&nbsp; Is the &quot;O&quot; number irrelevant to the value of the coin?&nbsp; The coins I did see with an &quot;O&quot; number were high grade coins.&nbsp; Do some of the die varieties not show on a worn coin?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have developed a love/hate relationship with this hobby.&nbsp; I love collecting coins.&nbsp; I hate not knowing all the nuances.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
