It's hard to believe that was 20 years ago. I had to think twice because it doesn't seem anywhere near that long. Man time flies! I used to keep every Coin World and other coin mag I had bought. I decided to downsize recently and donated them to the local Goodwill so that others could enjoy them. It was always fun looking back at some of the articles, though. |

When I read the title .. I was trying to think what happen
20 years ago .. I did not come up with it.
Some of those articles I would like to read. I also like
digging through my old magazines and finding stories like
those to read again.
As for the 1995 double die. Couple times I have almost
bought one of those. For me when I look real hard at them,
all I can think is how those Zinc Lincolns don't hold up
very well.

It's a bit odd the way they looked at the 3 legged Buffalo from a skeletal standpoint.  |

Interesting articles. And that 95 Doubled Die just sort of faded away as something big. Lately so many other errors are taking over.

I do wonder.. of the articles that get printed from
the coin experts, how many of their predictions come true.
Trying hard to think of one .. but none come to mind.

The article I copied got it half right. We did get another dollar coin five years later, we just failed to sack the dollar note. Get it. Sack the dollar note. Sad trombone is sad.  |

I've got 3 of the 4 "Selections from The Numismatist" books - United States coins, Ancient and Medieval Coins, and Modern Foreign Currency. The 4th title, which I don't have, is U.S. Miscellany (Tokens, Paper Money, etc.). The books were published in 1960 but the reprinted articles range from 1909 to the late 1950s. Here are some of the titles: The New Five Cent Piece (May, 1913) The Girl on the Quarter (May, 1917) Early Mint Records Not By Calendar Year (July, 1910) Artist's Name on Coins Essential for History (October, 1909) ( Victor D. Brenner gives his view of why the artist's name should appear on the coin he designed.) Collecting U.S. Large Copper Cents (June, 1949) Here's a fascinating excerpt from that one: "The earliest recorded public coin sale containing U.S. cents (known to the writer [R.H. Williamson]) was the auction of Dr. Lewis Roper's collection, sold by Moses Thomas and Son, Philadelphia, on Feb. 20, 1851. At this sale, an uncirculated "Chain" cent of 1793 was knocked down to Ammi Brown of Boston for his first bid of ten cents. However, the hobby grew so rapidly that by 1867 Mr. Mickley was able to sell his famous "Chain AMERI" cent of 1793 for $110." |
