    You need to get a Red Book. That and hundreds of other coins are photographed there. Another place would be to go onto the Heritage web site (you will have to sign up, but there is no charge) and look under Auction Archives. They have photo's there, as well.
    PNG member, numismatic dealer since 1965. Operates a retail store, also has exhibited at over 1000 shows.
    I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.
