STACK'S LEMUS U.S. DIMES CATALOG

As if the Ford Massachusetts catalog weren't enough to
satisfy the U.S. numismatic public, Stack's issued THREE
catalogs this week, and here's a review of one of the others:

Editor Bill Bugert notes in the October 2005 (v1n7) issue
of E-Gobrecht.an electronic publication of the Liberty Seated
Collectors Club (LSCC):

“For those of you who haven't seen the Stack's 70th Anniversary
Sale catalogue of the The Lemus Collection of United States Dimes,
1796-1916, it is a real keeper. Each dime has enlarged full obverse
and reverse photos and attribution to Gerry Fortin's seated dime
book on the Internet. This catalogue belongs in a dime specialist's
library.”

[Fortin's web site is at seateddimevarieties.com.
The "web book" is password-protected; subscriptions are
available for $55/year or $130 or three years. A free preview
is available. The following description is from the site's home page:

"After collecting and researching the Seated Dime series for
nearly twenty years, I'm happy to present the 3rd reference book
to the numismatic community. Through prior hardbound books,
both Kam Ahwash and Brian Greer advanced the knowledge and
collector base for Liberty Seated Dimes. I've decided to take a
different approach with the 3rd book given the advancements in
computer and Internet technology. Within this web-book, you will
find a wealth of new information about Seated Dime die varieties
and die states in a format that organizes the previous die varieties
defined by Ahwash and Greer." -Editor]
