<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr. Flute, post: 3064140, member: 33154&quot;]I&#039;m going to jump in and say that you shouldn&#039;t take Cline as an expert on everything in his SLQ book.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I own and read it several times.&nbsp; I feel that several portions of the book are unsubstantiated opinions, including his discussion on the &#039;bare breast&#039; stuff.&nbsp; Additionally there are alot of words and not much substance.&nbsp; The individual date/mintmark coin analyses are not really helpful as he mainly just focuses on MS level coins and there is little, if any, discussion about the dynamics of circulated grades and their marketplace.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I do like the section on errors, which seem to be very rare for this series, as if the Mint really focused on preventing errors, even though production quality control was not great (rampant excess die fatigue, striking pressures, etc).</p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, the book must not have had a professional editor just in the excessive and completely unnecessary use of exclamation marks (!).&nbsp; A book intended to be a scholarly work should never use exclamation marks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
