This is an outstanding and authoritative numismatic reference. A must have for any serious half dollar specialist. It is certainly the best reference available for the Seated Liberty half dollar series. This book is part of the excellent "The Complete Guide To" series of books published by David Lawrence (DLRC Press). This book is the source of the Wiley-Bugert numbers (WB numbers) that are assigned to each major variety for each date and mint mark of the series. These Wiley-Bugert (WB) numbers are used by some coin grading services and are shown on the coin holders. The book has many, many outstanding photos (black & white). Every date and mint mark has it's own section of a page or two, together with at least one photo and many photos for the more interesting varieties. It is unfortunate that this excellent book is difficult to locate. If you can find a copy, but it.

While I am not with an opinion I have dealt with Bill on www.seated/org/boards on numerous seated half dollar issues. This is a man who clearly know Liberty Seated Half Dollars inside and out. This book is not in print any longer and costs a lot of money when someone is willing to part with a copy. It is the only reference source you can find on Seated Half Dollars and well worth the investment, that is if you can find one!

These two authors are absolutly horrible. Their knowledge is clearly not clear. They did not put their time into this book. Although bugart does hit some good points about his experiances. Don't by this deficated material, it clearly is a pile of dung!
