<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 70572, member: 1674&quot;]No, I don&#039;t use Overton anymore (except for the draped bust halves) as I find it rather cumbersome and unintuitive.&nbsp; I&#039;m using &quot;The Ultimate Guide to Attributing Bust Half Dollars&quot; by Glenn R. Peterson, M.D.&nbsp; The first edition is from 2000 and the second edition (the spiral bound version that I&#039;m using) is from 2004.&nbsp; I had a heck of a hard time locating a copy, but I was able to get it right around its list price of $75.&nbsp; I don&#039;t remember offhand who I got it from, but I could try to find that info if you want me to.&nbsp; I&#039;ve found Peterson to be very user friendly once I figured out what he was doing.&nbsp; Plus he has great close-up pictures throughout the book of the specific identifiers for each marriage.&nbsp; Bottom line, I highly recommend Peterson!&nbsp; I think that if I went back to Overton though, that I would use the third edition (1990) since it has much better (and many more) photographs than the earlier versions did.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for Speedy&#039;s buddy, I didn&#039;t know who he was talking about, so I didn&#039;t say anything diminutive about him.&nbsp; There are a bunch of BH collectors with WAY more knowledge than I have on the subject (this gentleman included).&nbsp; It was just an irrelevant point that Speedy was trying to make and I was attempting to point that out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
