Some of you may recall that we offered a new Large cent variety attribution manual this past spring. Written by EAC member Robert Powers, and covering only 1793 to 1795 cents, it presented a very detailed attribution system that made a great deal of sense to me. Powers' system seemed familiar and comfortable since it used a general premise that I was taught 30+ years ago by my primary mentor in the Bust half dollar world, Dr. Michael Summers. Mike explained that I should learn to recognize Bust half dollar die marriages - especially the rare ones - as if they were familiar faces. The 20-odd copies we had of Powers' self-published book sold out in less than a week.

Now, Robert Powers is back with something way better. He's been using the pandemic to complete the work on his latest book, covering the entire Early Date cent series. We now have, "U.S. Large Cents 1793-1814, Variety Identification Guide" in stock and available. 274 pages that are packed with Powers' observations and ID keys, color photos throughout and printed in the USA. I am a big fan of this book, and highly recommend you get your copy soon. We have only 100 in stock.
