Is any group, organization, or person working on an update to Hibler and kaplan's So-Called Dollars

There seems to be a lot of interest in so-called dollars, and the original book is quite outdated.

    There is indeed a concerted effort at a new catalogue. I believe the gentleman's name is Jeff Slavin. He has been actively seeking new information and photographs and know for a fact that he spent a loonngg day photographing the collection that was formed by Mr. and Mrs. Ostheimer.

    It should be a great book, but will not be out for probably at least a year and maybe two.

    I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

    Julian was close on the spelling, it's Jeff Shevlin.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Cool. I'm sure there have been some changes since 1963.

    There currently is a collaborative effort amongst members of the So-Called Collectors Society, namely Jeff Shevlin of California and Tony Swicer of Florida. to update and revise the definitive reference for SCD's. If you want to join the SCCS, or just find out more about this area of collecting visit here: SoCalledDollar.org

    Yes, but the website is not working. I talked to Jeff about it at ANA and he needs to find another web designer to fix it.

    I should think that Jeff might try Brandon Kelly from Anaconda, since Adrian is a member of SCCS, and Brandon is very experienced in that area.
