Hello: New kid on the block wants to know if anyone collects or has photos of bust halve "early and later" date counterfeits. Also some of the easier diagnostic signs of bust halve counterfeits.

I can help some with the Bust Halves. I too have had to dig to find good info on the web and it has not been easy.

As far as books I have found two that are great for information and die marriages ect.

You may already know of them but here goes.

1.) Early Half Dollar Die Varieties - (Author AL C. Overton Third Edition)

2.) The Ultimate Guide To Attributing Bust Half Dollars - (Author Glenn R. Peterson, MD)

Both these books are great and work well together - cross reference etc. when identifying die varieties and overdates.

This can help out tons.
