That's quite the imagination, but just that. And here I thought I look too much into the fine details of coins : P

Rackster,
Somehow the info in Strike It Rich on that variety got transposed. I did not work that section of the book so I have no idea of how it got listed that way but the error was found very quickly and was supposed to be corrected. Which edition of SIR are you looking in? It was supposed to be corrected by the second edition. If not, I'm going to be even more upset than I already am about Krause's failures to edit and correct info. Do to health issues I was unable to contribute much to the 3rd and 4th editions other than to submit images but next time around there will be many changes. The 4th edition was rushed out so fast that by the time I got two pages of corrections done, I learned it was already being printed. The excuse was that Barnes & Noble wanted it "right now" for inclusion in some kind of coin collecting package (I've never seen). Today, I accept what I can't change and recognize the book has brought in a lot of new blood to the hobby but I will make sure there are no more rushed out editions. My co-author, Dr. Brian Allen was not happy at all with the 3rd or 4th editions (least happy with the 4th).

Hi Ken - 4th Edition I'm afraid. Sorry for the bad news, but it seems that your fears and Dr. Allen's went unrecognized by the publishers. Maybe they'll have time by the Fifth Edition! Thank you for chiming in. It confirms what is intuitive about the value relative to mintages, but I was holding out the slimmest of hopes I had a moderately valuable find. I'm still pleased nonetheless. Haste makes waste, so my Grandma used to say. The publishers are eager to make money to the demise of the writers and the audience who would rather things be as they should. Different objectives.  |

I have volume two of the Fifth edition. It doesn't have the nickels in it. It starts with Half Dimes. (Another book I need... Volume one) |

Rackster,
Now I'm gritting my teeth! That was supposed to be corrected in the 2nd edition along with some images that got transposed (actually duplicated into the wrong pages) in the same section on Jeffersons). I'm wondering it it did get corrected in the 2nd and then they defaulted to the original document for the 3rd? No matter, it's still wrong!
Well, on the upside at least I know to look out for this in the next edition. Thanks for pointing it out.

Coop, I'm assuming you mean the 5th Edition, Volume 1 of the CherryPickers' Guide To Rare Die Varieties. I'd love to sell you one but you may just as well wait for the 6th edition. It may be out by the end of the year. However, if things go as was planned while I was editor (before deciding to hand it over to Mike Ellis due to time restraints) there will be images removed from the 6th to make room for new ones. The removed images will be for low interest FS varieties that will be moved to an appendix. They will remain valid FS varieties and you will need the older edition to see what they are.

Thanks for the heads up on the 6th edition volume 1. I bought one off Amazon thinking there was only one volume. When I got it I found out later. It was missing the nickels and Cents, so I figured it out then. |

Coop, You'd also be missing the half-cents, 2c and 3c. A lot to be missing. You must have been bummed!  |

Now only if my coin was an MS67 coin or better! That would have been an incredible CRH find!
To your point Ken, I've seen corrections made get undone in a subsequent revision when the editors reached back to the wrong revision to make other changes/additions. Cant say that's what happened here (e.g. corrections in 3rd edition undone by 4th edition), but indeed possible I suppose. Still, a terrific resource to have in hand.

Rackster, I think that may have been what happened. I'll take a look when I can get past the stacks of books to the library shelves. LOL
