I'm certain the mods will move, but I didn't know where else to post this. This is the only category I ever post in. https://www.NGCcoin.com/boards/topi...n-last-post/ Report this Post to the Staff

Alpha2814 Pillar of the Community United States 2023 Posts	Posted 10/03/2018 7:00 pm There's a little more discussion on another forum I can't link to. There are a couple of references to books that might have more information on the topic: One says that Edward Rochette's book "Making Money" states the mintage of 1927 nickels was supplemented by an illegal operation run by three individuals in Monroe. The other reference is for David W. Lange's book on buffalos, but it's not clear he mentions this Monroe operation. Edited by Alpha2814 10/03/2018 7:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
