We highlight one of his videos each week in The E-Sylum. Here's one from 1995 about Bust Half Collecting, with three great talks in one program. -Editor

Bust Half Collecting for the Serious Collector

This literal pantheon of top numismatists discusses the more esoteric aspects of collecting Bust half dollars covering such topics as, Bust Half Dollar Die State Studies, Multi-Struck Bust Halves, and Pictorial Attribution Technique of Bust Halves. Brad Karoleff discusses new areas of investigation for Bust half die marriages and explains the value of a good reference library. David Finkelstein talks about the hair curls on the coins of 1812 in die emission sequence and what other information can be determined. Glenn Peterson gives a quiz on die varieties using examples of the most prominent and desirable coins. He explains why Overton is not always the best source for identification. This tape is a must for any advanced collector. Lecture with slides.

Speaker(s): Brad Karoleff, Dave Finkelstein, & Dr. Glenn Peterson.
