We have two contributions for this week's JR
Newsletter. The first comes from Dave
Lange:
In response to Winston Zack's speculation that the new
specimen of 1796 JR-7 may have been attributed by using the VIG that he
co-authored, I can confirm that this was indeed how I identified the coin. I
picked up a copy of this book at last summer's ANA
convention and have been using it in place of the JRCS book ever since.
