This week's edition is a day earlier, allowing the editor
time to take a mini-vacation with family.
Dr. Eugene Bruder wrote concerning an error in an article
entitled, "The Quiet 1805 Half Dime, with discussion of the Pittman coin
in the upcoming Stack's Bowers Auction."
I just read the above referenced article, and
noticed what I believe is an error. The 1805 Half dime pictured in the article
appears to be an 1805 dime! The diameter in the NGC holder looks too large to
be a half dime. It looks to be an 1805 JR-2 dime. Most interesting! The most
obvious attribution point is the 5 in the date, and then the 8 is the wrong
shape too. It makes you wonder about the grading services-you must always check
their work!
I don’t
know if anyone else has pointed this out.

Just wanted to let you know
