Book recommendation

This book comes highly recommended, especially for bust half dollar collectors. There are other papers for those who collect other early series, but for those, it may be dated. The article on dies is interesting, but for half dollar collectors, the article by Ivan Leaman and Don Gunnet on edge dies and emission sequence makes it a "must read". Considering what you pay for a single coin, the likely sale price makes this a bargain. This seller comes highly recommended, but I'm not shilling for him.

All of the COAC books are great. I have several.

I purchased this same title from the same seller about a year ago and I can second the recommendation. First time I read the book I went cover to cover! It is an excellent reference with contributions by some of the greats in the field.

What Longacre said. Anyone have a complete list of books in the COAC series?
