That's very cool!
I actually have two original copies of ML Beistle's book "A Register of Half Dollar Die Varieties and Sub-Varieties". For those unaware, and I would suspect the vast majority of folks would be unaware, this was the primary reference book for early US half dollars prior to Al Overton's massive undertaking to further the field that was first published in 1967.
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
Wow!
wicked cool
Love that!
Not my tree.

I used to have a similar one to yours but pretty sure it was a Wayte Raymond. I just looked through my pics on photobucket to see if it was there. Must have been earlier, not sure if I will ever look through the disks used on my Sony Mavica to find a picture of it.
I’d love to see a picture of it. Was it brown colored instead of green? I saw some pictures on this website https://www.coinbooks.org/esylum_v16n07a19.html that look like this

For the record, this is what the one I have in my collection actually looks like. I flipped the front cover when I made the Christmas Tree into a virtual display where I can pop in any coin images I want to just as a way to show the cover and the tree with coins in it all in the same photo

I think it was like the yellow one. If I get bored, I might see if I can find a picture. The only thing I remember was the Peace dollar had beautiful color, but the down reverse side was ugly dark. I am kind of thinking the dollar was on top like a star, but it has been a few years.
Here’s some more Beistle coin stuff and another type of Beistle Christmas Tree that kept popping up on my eBay saved search for Beistle Christmas trees, so I ended up buying them
