Thanks for sharing your coin! IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

That is a nice example of an S-47, and with a nice pedigree and history as well. Will you be showing us perhaps an S-48 next ?  |

Thank you "Then Me" for sharing this wonderful coin and story with provenance.
(I have to ask because of your screen name. Are you the D. Carr? Or do you simply enjoy them as much as I do?)
EDIT: I forgot to address your question about Del Bland. It appears that envelope is the first to mention "Maris 45 (Young Head)" just before Del Blands name. Were they giving Del credit for that "new " part of the attrtibution?

thanks for all the kind words everyone. I think history like this is really interesting. all of my favorite coins have stories asscociate with them. I have some others that will be fun to share.
@germanicvs - I dont own an s-48. maybe one of these days ill get to own a starred reverse.
@peterspocket55 - I am not Dan. I have met him once. I bought an 1815 and and 1858 large cent from him that I like a lot. I also have several of his quarter and dollar patterns. I am impressed by the quality of his work and I enjoyed the short conversation I had with him.
thats a good thought about the attribution. I reached out the previous owner. maybe he knows?
