I've gotten behind on this topic; what's latest update on this? Thought I had bookmarked everything but zero now. Of course I know it's operator error. LOL

Suggest keeping A as the primary and adding B in parenthesis.
This way the user can use which ever he or she prefers.

Sorry for the delay in announcing the final decision, gang. I was away up in Canada having a long vacation on Lake Huron after finally retiring! The favored alternative clearly seems to be A, that is, maintaining the system as it was. The only difference going forward, of course, is that new dies discovered after Sept. 1 will receive a special number if their introduction would have caused other die numbers to change in consequence. Thus, in the E38 series mentioned at the beginning of this thread, the new die becomes E38X. More about that in a separate thread.

I don't know of anyone who is deliberately withholding new information, but it's theoretically possible of course. Now it's my feeling that there are some 59ers who actually don't follow the Haxby #'s as closely as many of us here do. If there are hoarders out there who love the 59's but have not added the appropriate # to theirs,..then it's possible that there are a few treasures still waiting to be found.. and then added to the list at a later date.. That was my jest in the beginning.. no deliberate intentions implied .. |

I, personally, don't use or try to ID with the Haxby system, but I did send hundreds to Dr Haxby when he first contemplated starting a formal computerized composite. I don't think that he got through all of them, but he did number them (in an older system) before he sent them back. I naturally have collected a fe w hundred since then (a few years ago). Everything I've ever owned for Caandian coinage I loan out to legitimate researchers.

Someone I know keeps testing me from time to time asking me to find the Haxby # of this 1859 large cent  . Because of the push just yesterday I was able to use the Rev side of the coin to properly ID an 1859 RP-5  . I have that I did not consider to fall under the RP-5 variety group. Well I was wrong. Thanks DEVLEC |

What Bill says about his loaning out coins to researchers is quite true and it is my pleasure to have this opportunity to publically thank him for his generosity....
