Does anyone know of a decent modern reference (hard-copy or online) that deals with Civil War siege-pieces?

North goes into not much more detail than Spink, if any - in fact Spink is better for many of them, such as the Newark varieties, in that there are more pictures. The most detailed reference I have found so far is Philip Nelson's "The Obsidional Money of the Great Rebellion" that gets quite specific to types and gives weights, but this dates to 1907 so any later-discovered variations would not be listed and the picture-quality is not that good.

Maurice Bull's Charles I Half Crowns vols. 3, 4 & 5 covers that denomination. Morrieson's articles in the BNJ cover the various mints, Lyall's Chester in the SNC, Allen's W/SA in the BNJ, Hird's work on Newark, specialist denomination volumes will have the appropriate coins. Then there is private research.

I can't afford one YET but it is on my coin radar.

My eldest daughter visited yesterday and I flippantly told her to help herself to my change pot...she took the lot.Word will get out and my youngest will visit soon. 

Siege piece will have to wait..:(
