What good reference books would people recommend on the following topics:
- Large Copper Cents
- Seated Halves
- Seated Quarters
- Bust Halves
- Vermont/NJ/etc. Copper Coinage
Second part of the question:
- Is there a dealer that sells them or does one need to search through auctions, etc.
Thanks!!!!
