I have also made available new Addenda Data Sheets that detail new confirmed die marriages that have been discovered since original publication of the above reference books.
Also, two other publications are being made available to anyone who is interested or could benefit from them:
- Bugert, Bill, A Register of 1878-S Liberty Seated Half Dollars, Gettysburg, PA: Self-published, June 2020. This is a new previously unpublished reference which details all examples of the 1878-S half dollar known to me. This reference features an image of each coin, key identification characteristics, grade, and third-party identification (if any), known pedigree information, and any miscellaneous notes pertaining to each coin.
- Bugert, Bill, Liberty Seated Half Dollar Die Marriage Diagrams Volume I: The Branch Mints. Gettysburg, PA: Self-published, 2014. This booklet is a compilation of the hand drawn die diagrams for the Liberty Seated half dollar Branch Mint die marriages. These diagrams match the characteristics, descriptions, and photographs of the die marriages as listed in the first four volumes of the Liberty Seated Half Dollar Register books by Bill Bugert.
Links to the books can be found below.
The mechanics of using these are simple. Download and save the pdf file onto your desktop, laptop, and/or tablet. Be patient during the download; the files are very large but worth the wait. Open the file with your pdf viewer and use its functions (i.e., search, go-to, zoom-in, etc.) to navigate through the document.
