It's time to get specific and buy some reference books on series of interest.
(and bookmark some web sites)
What are the key reference books and web sites for the Franklin Half and Walking Liberty Half Dollars? .... ok... I'm adding the classic and modern commemoratives, too.
I'm also interested in varieties and errors of the same series...
I realize the Cherry Pickers Guide isn't specific for the series, but would that also be a good reference... or do the specific reference books already cover what the CPG covers?
