I know this is an older thread but I was not around in August 2020 and had yet to receive the new book.
I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to learn about Classic Head gold. One warning, be prepared to come away excited about collecting Classic Head gold. It helped me focus my attention on a series and for that I am very thankful.
I can only imagine how much time and effort you poured into this book. This is the go to book when I am considering all new purchases. Congrats on the award. Well deserved.
I am sure your collection of Classic Head gold is mind blowing.

Tom - Thank you for your kind words. The Deluxe version of the book sold out after a couple of weeks. However, last week I released the last two copies of the Deluxe version that had, until, now, been reserved for others. So if anyone is interested, last I knew they were available.
I did assemble the finest known ever set of both quarter eagles and half eagles, but actually am still working on a complete die marriage set. Only a few more to go. It has taken me longer than expected, as I am staying with AU or better for all dates under R-7.
Save for one marriage that is an R-8, only 2 known in Proof 1836 QE and realistically could be considered non-collectible, both series can be completed by die marriage. For those that like to break new ground.
Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.

When I purchased your book I tried to get the Deluxe version but was told you were holding them. I will have to check on availability now. Sounds like an amazing collection of Classic Gold.

I once got a "post of the day," but never an honor such as yours. Congrats. Have you made it available on the BST?
Repetition of ignorance is ignorance raised to the power two.
Well deserved!
