[QUOTE="ZoidMeister, post: 4855144, member: 114169"]My point of reference, really, is in trying to determine which specific denominations and dates MIGHT be worthy of further research. My goal is in selling off a collection that spanned three generations of my family. I have already found one or two varieties in this collection that rise above the regular production for that denomination / year. Highly publicized varieties like the 1955 Lincoln Doubled Die are fairly easy to see and catch. The 1934-D doubled die Peace Dollar that I found in the collection is MUCH less known and publicized. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of written documentation accompanying much of this collection. That makes my research much more important, especially with coins where a certain variety brings substantial premiums. I am finding that discovering certain varieties is becoming more common rather than the rarity in this hoard. One of my relatives, long since departed, seemed to have the knowledge and eye for these. Not every item in this collection is a desirable variety, but enough of them are to warrant the search. I don't need these references to expand my collection pursuits, but to avoid missing value in the collection, where possible. I think the Breen book gives me sufficient information with regards to coin series of the last century. It's those early series - specifically the half dollars and large coppers where I don't get the sense that Breen has these covered sufficiently. Your collective and individual advice on this so far is greatly appreciated. Thank you gentlemen / ladies / folks. Z[/QUOTE]
