I would love to borrow one to use as a reference for all the plates I'm going through. The earliest one I have is 1960. Something from the early 50s would be very helpful!!
It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    My earliest is 1962 and I loaned it to somebody. (And I can't remember who.) It's hell to turn 40.

    The difference is, the post 1960 books they used different plates for the coin pics. I need an early one to match up the plates to the pictures.
