Here is a question for our newsletter
members: Which auction house sold the HIGHLANDER
COLLECTION? What was the date of the sale?
I own a wonderful 1795 dollar BB-52, XF-40
(PCSG) dollar from the sale. The coin is lustrous and fully
original. It is scare early die state for the variety between the
Bowers-Borckardt die states I - II.
Thanks in advance to our members for the answer to the
auction sale question.

The index was not funded by dues payments, instead it was paid for by
fundraisers and donations.
Thanks,

counterstamped bust quarters:
I am far from expert on bust quarters, but I can recommend
two excellent sources of information on the E and L countermarks found on bust
quarters. Here they are:
-"Early United States
Quarters 1796-1838" by Steve M. Tompkins.
See especially pages 351-357.
-"Early Quarter Dollars of the United
States Mint 1796-1838" by Rory R. Rea,
Dr. Glenn Peterson, Bradley S. Karoleff, and John J. Kovach, Jr. See especially pages 325-330.
I do hope Tom can provide us with a picture or two of his
coin once it comes back from PCGS!
