All photographs were taken by Tom Mulvaney unless otherwise identified. Tom is a great coin photographer and we use his services whenever possible.
Thanks to Bill Fivaz and J.T. Stanton for providing photographs and information on varieties; Joe Haney, a member of the Barber Coin Collectors’ Society (BCCS) and variety specialist, provided many photographs of coins from his collection. This book is much richer because of his input. Jack White supplied specimens of some interesting possible blundered dates (1908-P & 1908-0). Off-center errors were provided by Larry Briggs and John Christensen.
Photographs of Charles Barber were provided by R.W. Julian and the patterns shots by the Smithsonian Institution. Jack Beymer has always been available to answer questions, particularly about the characteristics of genuine dies of the three key dates.
ANACS and, in particular, Randy Campbell supplied information via the population report and also on the second obverse of the 1896-S quarter.
Phil Carrigan, Paul Reuter, Donald Porsch, Mark Gealy, Glen K. Church, Robert Jenkins, Dane Silvernale and Chip Dean of the BCCS provided specimens for photographs from their personal collections.
