I honestly do not know the answer to a single one of these questions.:blush:

I definitely need to get a copy of your book when it gets published.

It's ok and Thank You.

My book might be two or three volumes.

In your question #1, I wouldn't list Grant with star as an option.  I'd describe that coin as a die variety, though I presume others do not.  The Daniel Boone sounds like an overdate which if so is another die variety, though I don't recall any in the entire series.  If it is, I wouldn't include it either.

All coins listed are the right one or wrong one. Not really listed coins thinking of varieties.

Thanks for  your thoughts though. :smile:
