Those that aren't, you'd have to question their viability as varieties. Quote

I do not own books written by Davis or Groom yet, but no doubt that I will purchase them as I have the chance and the money to do so.The accumulation of citations and literature about coins is as important as collecting the coins themselves. It is not a shame to have the same information published by different authors. They might have different details on a subject analyzed.Sorry... therefore i do not really understand your criticism...Criticism? No, I just mean that Davis (who was published around the same time as Ron's survey) is very thorough, and for 20thC there's nothing so far to beat Dave's book, which is very recent and contains varieties previously unpublished. So kudos to Ron but I doubt he has much that's new. Quote

I do have the pdf of the 1982 stafford paper. In case there is any interest let me know via IM please. And hopefully I will get some more papers dealing with coin varieties soon. Quote

A slight confusion, as I thought you were talking about my missing 'Ron Stafford 10 pence survey' pdf. But it's worked out even better, as I still have the Coin Monthly with the 10 pence survey in, but I've never before seen the halfcrown survey which you've sent. So a good result! Quote
