Updated Info on the Cherrypickers' Guide

seanqseanq Posts: 8,581 ✭✭✭✭✭
Sometime over the weekend J.T. updated cherrypickersguide.com. A big update with lots of information, anyone interested in the book should read up. Bottom line for those with short attention spans: book now due in August, in time for the Pittsburgh ANA.

    I guess the June 25 2003 date was an error? Seems like the last time I looked it said Feb of 2004.

    Not sure what I think of new FS numbers. That should make things fun,image

    I'll believe the publication date when I actually see it!

    I was looking at the date JT shows the site was updated.
    I was thinking it should have said June of 2004, not 2003.
    Maybe we will see it this year image

    It seems to me that J.T. spends more time in detailing all the things that WILL happen with his Cherrypickers book after it is in print than just getting it published. His medical problems aside, he really should not be collecting money from people until he can produce the product. This is not my area of interest, but a delay of a year is just plain wrong IMHO.

    Hey CD aka Coppercoins...........it looks like a void exists in this market. Why don't you step up and start a new guide on the Lincolns. Start your own number system....ie. CC # 1c - 001.1. You are talented enough and knowledgable enough to do it!!! Ever think about it? You have one of the best websites as it is.....just a thoughtimage Chris

    Remember it's not how you pick your nose that matters, it's where you put the boogers.

    Erm...you're joking, right? Exactly what you said above is what I've been doing for five years, and at least my numbering system makes some logical sense. My book goes through the chronology of the Lincoln cent and uses the system published on coppercoins wherever a die number is needed...and nobody else's system is mentioned in the book. If they want to advertise their system they can write their own books.

    As for whether the CPG will be finished for the Pittsburg ANA, I highly doubt it. I know people who speak to JT more regularly than I have, and I doubt he will be at the ANA....nor his book.
