  1. Good luck, Some members might remember the fiasco of PCGS misattributing an uncirculated 1860 Mule farthing. PCGS would not admit that the slightly separated teeth, a known issue and mentioned in catalogs and guidebooks, were not round beads. They covered themselves by identifying it as a new variety, midway between teeth and beads. It will be interesting to see what their response is. Probably just call it a clerical labeling error.
  2. Images, photos, etc, can be deceptive and not necessarily deliberately. The best determinant is studying the coin in hand.
  3. Hi, I sold my hardcopy and would appreciate a digital copy for reference. Message me for my email. Thanks, Gary
  4. Definitely two different coins, a slightly higher 9, but not from what I see the wide date with the high 9
  5. 1735 I struggled with that date too in my collection until I was able to compare examples of both dates.
  6. It was the basis of the updates, subject to his future decisions. He later removed the milled penny (that I recently sold) from the catalog after receiving an assessment from the Royal Mint that it was a post mint alteration. Just as his 1970 edition was an extension of his several updated versions of his penny studies expanded to include half pennies, farthings, patterns, trials, etc. There are ALWAYS corrections, updates, modifications, etc to a work of this magnitude. There have been many new discoveries to add to Peck, Braman, Freeman, etc. No guide/catalog is a final authority, it merely contains information known at the time. They grow, mature, learn, make adjustments and corrections, expand as a living being.
  7. These, if I am correct, are you amongst the updates included in the second (1986) edition.
  8. I suppose then, that you finally got it in the end.........
  9. Something else of interest, and pertinent . And No, my dad was not involved in the invasion. He was assigned elsewhere.
  10. Here's my Dad's WW2 Medals. It looks like it might work
