[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 26158703, member: 105571"]There is no single. definitive reference on all pre-federal issues. There are over 300 separate die marriages of Connecticut coppers alone!. But the Whitman Encyclopedia of Colonial and Early American Coins, 2nd Edition by Bowers is a pretty good reference for both background information on the issues and you can usually attribute many issues for die marriage from the descriptions. If you're looking, as I do, for enough information to inform a colonial and pre-federal type set collection but don't wish to invest hundreds or thousands of dollars in literally dozens of specialty books (although I do have some of those), then this is probably the best book for you. Available at Amazon right now for $36.25, a bargain in my view. And Prime free, one day delivery if you're a Prime member.[/QUOTE]
