It turns out that this example is the Plate Coin for the Federal H10c book and was Russ Logan's set piece and if one were to look up tis coin in the Bowers & Merena 2002 Russ Logan Collection you will find that this coin was graded AU58 and sold for $391 including the 15% buyer's fee. The question that begs to be asked is what would Logan's coin be graded today since it was raw in 2002.<br />I believe there is a ms63 PCGS in an OGH and the one from HA.com that is an ms62 NGC. So I think Logan's could very well be one of these since many of the coins that sold in 2002 were undergraded.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563493711656998987.post-75244996440445473802011-05-01T10:51:40.905-04:002011-05-01T10:51:40.905-04:00I'm not sure how to reach the binder directly,...I'm not sure how to reach the binder directly, but if they have numismatic affiliations, such as ANA, you may want to contact them with your issue.

It is not known who made these entries, although my guess would be Adam Eckfeldt. He certainly appears to have had an institutional memory. However, this 4k mintage figure is rolled into the total for 1795 and this seems implausible. The lower image is from Bullion Waste Journal B, which covers the dates from 18 July 1794 to 31 December 1806. It shows the entry for 30 March 1795, and there is no mention of previously struck half dimes.<br /><br />Other researchers have certainly seen this journal. I'd like to hear their opinions.<br /><br />The second part is the entry for 1794 half dollars. The Red Book and other publications quote the mintage of '94 half dollars as 23,464, and this figure is arrived at by rolling in the first delivery of halves in 1795; the fact is that no one knows how many dated 1794 were coined. All of the second delivery may have been dated 1794 or some or none were. There may also have been some dated 1794 in subsequent deliveries. It is my opinion that the entry for mintage of 1794 half dollars should read 5300 with a note that some numismatists believe that more were struck in 1795. This would more accurately reflect reality.<br /><br />Brad HigginsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563493711656998987.post-67790451660647832032010-07-18T13:08:47.286-04:002010-07-18T13:08:47.286-04:00My interpretation of the phrase at the bottom of t...My interpretation of the phrase at the bottom of the ledger that spans both pages is "numbers of pieces not exactly known."

If this is a flaw it is an unusual one in that the obverse and reverse shapes are noticeably different. Upon close inspection of the obverse I think a case could be made for a flaw because the outline is a bit ragged. On the reverse however, the outline is sharper, and both sides show raised design elements as in a retained cud. Could a planchet flaw have these characteristics?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563493711656998987.post-62109710474383367062010-05-24T22:42:35.595-04:002010-05-24T22:42:35.595-04:00Has anybody suggested this is a planchet flaw?
