What It Is Cherrypickers’ Guide to Rare Die Varieties, Volume II, 6th Edition is a reference book by Bill Fivaz & J. T. Stanton (edited by Larry Briggs) that catalogs rare die varieties in U.S. coins. Volume II focuses on half dimes, dimes, twenty-cent pieces, and quarter dollars, covering “1800s to date.” Key Features & What’s New Includes 442 die varieties, among popular series like Mercury and Roosevelt dimes, Washington quarters, Barber silver coins, Liberty Seated coinage, etc. Adds 79 newly published varieties not seen in earlier editions. Markets values included, in multiple grades. So you can see what these rare varieties trade for depending on condition. Detailed photographs and photo enlargements show what to look for — doubled dies, overdates, repunched mintmarks, etc. Specs Spec Detail Pages 320 pages. Format Hardcover, spiral bound. 6 × 9 inches. Publication Date August 2023. Why It’s Useful for Collectors Helps you spot otherwise “ordinary” coins that have extra value due to rare die characteristics. If you collect dimes, quarters, etc., this book makes it easier to cherrypick — find varieties with premium value among bulk coins. Good cross-reference with standard numismatic guides; some varieties aren’t well documented elsewhere until books like this update. Especially valuable for serious collectors who submit coins for grading / certification, or track variety catalogs (e.g. VAMs, doubled dies, etc.).
