Today was Stack's day! I submitted some bids for the HT's and then took a trip to DC with my Office Manager, Karin and her friend, Holly. We did the Captiol tour. The wait was longer than the tour, but it was interesting. We had lunch at the House of Representatives Resturant in the Capitol, which was very nice. No one seemed to know that if the Rep's are not in session, anyone can eat there. Great food and we were virtually the only ones there!
Then we went to the Holocaust Museum. Parked on Independance Drive with 2:00 in the meter. I was hard to keep back the tears going though the museum, such a gastly thing - that whole period of history! Anyway, It was equally hard to keep back the tears when I discovered that after 4:00 they want that steet cleared! Oops! The cab ride to the impound lot was a tour we didn't expect.
Now, instead of a "Oh we can make Stack's in time" ride back to Baltimore, it was "who's that crazy driver!". We'll I made it to just the start of the Patterns. Bought a few pieces. The neat cent mules went very strong! The circ Extremely High Relief $20 brought $600K (hammer) and not a single person clapped. Later the 1797 half ex: Norweb/Haig Koshkarian went for $1,200,000 (hammer) and there was a better response. I thought: "We are a long way from 1980" when the Garrett Brasher Doubloon sold for a record $625K.
Upon leaving, I saw QDB and gave him a lift to his hotel. Chatted about Wisconsin Extra Leaf Quarters and the newly announced 1875 "thief" mark cent.

I read that story. From the pic, that so called "thief mark" looks like nothing more than your common ordinary die chip.

That's why this can never be proved to be the so-called thief mark, but if enough people say it is, why, then it must be so!

Kinda what I thought. The article went on about how the mint so stealthly made the change and swap yet there was this "change" sitting there plain as day. You'd think they would make it smaller and hide it somewhere a lil' less obvious like in the wreath.
The letter was known for a long time and many people were looking for this "mark", including me. It is the "mark"? Who knows, really.
