I regret to say I do not. My most recent issue is 1985. I also have a 1968.
To clarify, and no doubt you are thinking of this in a different way that I am, and CRO is, is a complete different listing of the same coin under another heading in the main LISTINGS of the Redbook, not mentioned as a type coin, or in a text manner.

Cap'n Henway, with your experience you could write a Red Book Trivia Game. This was a fun post. I like ambro51's brainteaser --- it's a real stumper! (At first I thought, "Must be one of the transitional patterns?")
Didn't Bressett and Bowers used to host some sort of Red Book Game Show at ANA conventions? Or am I getting my anecdotes mixed up?

You are probably thinking of the "ANA WORLD SERIES OF NUMISMATICS," which was run along the general theme of "Jeopardy" but with teams. The first year only (1991) it was three-man teams, and Bowers was the interlocutor. I was on a team with Ken Bressett and Neil Shafer. Later contests were two-man teams. I think 1999 was the last regular competition, after which they tried one or two years with Young Numismatists and then gave it us as the equipment was worn out.
David T. Alexander and Anthony Swiatek wone it three times. Harlan Berk and I won it twice. I know John Kraljevich won it at least once, but I cannot remember who his partner was.

That was the first thing I looked for, to see if it was also in the patterns. Then the 1849 $20.

Donn Pearlmann was the quizmaster several times. One time he started to ask "What time does the clock show on the Bicentennial half..." and I buzzed and gave the correct answer, "3 o'clock." Donn stood there looking stunned for a few seconds, and eventually awarded me the points and went on.
MANY YEARS later, he admitted to me that he was making a joke by asking something that was totally impossible to answer before asking the real question, and I shocked him by knowing the answer to his joke. I don't think he ever tried another joker question after that!
LOL!

The listing is the unique die pairing, so even though some dies or basic formats are listed more than once, they are not duplicate listings like the Vermont example given.

We all should have guessed this one. Ambro's latest treasure that he talked about in another thread is his focus now, so we should have guessed. He's certainly not going to try to fool us with a $1 gold question. We're really entertained by your passions, keep it up, Ambro.

1) Could you give me a hint ?
2) Is there a giveaway involved ?
3) Is it illegal to own ?

Yep, and when Bressett adds the long-awaited 'archaeological finds' section, there no doubt will be a third listing.

<< <i>CRO knew, the 1785 Vermont immune Columbia is listed with the vermonts and also with the immune Columbias . >>
Your recently posted purchase was also a good clue.

Actually I was thinking of the "Top 250 Auction Prices" appendix, which lists coins that are all found in the main charts.
I like the singles-and-sets concept, though, from a "trick question" viewpoint!

... and that's where I went wrong. So I'm looking through the Red Book and these Susan B. Anthony dollars didn't get any prettier.
