<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CBJesse, post: 1880813, member: 40089&quot;]The number one book regarding pre-turban and Capped Bust half dimes is without a doubt, Federal Half Dimes 1792-1837 by Logan/McCloskey. It includes die characteristics, reed/dentil counts, die state info, rarity and more for every known half dime die marriage excluding the most recent recent discovery (1835, LM-12), discovered after publishing. It is a very difficult book to find and not cheap when found but it is worth every dollar. By far my favorite book. Also available is the web site, everythinghalfdimes.com, which I&#039;m certain you will find extremely helpful.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are additional references that greatly enhance the study of half dimes, should you become more deeply interested (JR Journal, Logan, Reiver catalogs, Valentine, etc.) but Federal Half Dimes is the one that is necessary.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding Liberty Seated half dimes, there is not nearly as much published information but if you are interested in studying the die marriages, you should refer to The United States Half Dimes by Daniel Valentine and the Complete Guide to Liberty Seated Half Dimes by Al Blythe. If you are more interested in them from a date/mint/major variety standpoint, you will find Blythe&#039;s book more helpful. More detailed information can be found in the back issues of the Gobrecht Journal, if desired.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me know if you&#039;d like help with anything half dime related or Bust related for that matter. If I can&#039;t help you, I can point you to someone who can.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jesse[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
