Due to life events, multiple projects and other factors, it has taken much longer to complete the next volume than was expected. However, work continues on Vol. 2 and it is progressing.

 Volume 2 covers the 1807-1821 Capped bust die marriages, as in-depth as were the earlier types in Volume 1. At present, it is going to be almost 600 pages of bust half dollar info!

 As the end approaches, an announcement will be made asking for pre-orders.

In the meantime, if anyone has any information, new or interesting die stages, or any other insights that they would like to share, feel free to e-mail by 
Clicking Here.

Once completed, Volumes 3 & 4 will be begun in unison to hopefully complete the series a bit quicker. Thanks for your patience!
