I purchased the Gifford book. I think the book has 500 poorly written but incredibly detailed pages, with pictures sometimes very good and sometimes very poor. The author tries to illustrate all of the dies used for proofs and all of the dies used for small mintage MS coins. Sometimes the pictures of the coins are much too small to make any reasonable comparison and often the details about the dies is poorly organized. The book is quite expensive and I'm not totally sure it's worthwhile.
Updating the Three Cent nickel book, The Authoritative Reference on Three Cent Nickels, adding a date by date section, also added new archive documents found.
Looking to see if there are any Three Cent nickel experts which might want to contribute a page or two on collecting or investing in Three Cent nickels.
Also curious if any new die varieties have been found which should be included in the book.
