Ordered a few weeks ago. Any chance of it being autographed.
Normally Whitman organizes a signing session or two at major conventions that an author is going to attend, but they have been very considerate of my physical affliction. I had polio in the early 1950's, and do not travel well anymore.

I preordered a hardback copy off Amazon on November 9. Release is November 30 according to them. Not sure if I'll be getting the Deluxe Edition though. That would be nice.

Just checked my order for Enigmatic 1922 Lincoln cent book on Amazon. They are showing a picture of the professional edition of Tom's book as what I will be receiving. No delivery date given but it's still early.
1922 has been a favorite year of Lincoln cent with me since the early '60s when I was trying to fill my blue Whitman folder with circulation finds. I actually found a nice 1922-D in a roll from the bank in 1962 or 1963! Had an opportunity to buy a 1922 no D from a coin shop (Rocky Mountain Coin on South Broadway) in Denver around 1973 but didn't buy it, a nice XF. Asking price was $100 as I recall.

Good ol' Die Pair #2 with the strong reverse. I have identified that obverse die in earlier die states where the D gets weaker and weaker, but in those die states the obverse die was paired with a worn down reverse die. With the D and the different reverse it obviously has a different die pair number.
BTW, the disappearance of the mint mark was NOT caused by a die clash!

It's coming. The boat was delayed by a day when they stopped to pick up some hitch-hiking mermaids!

Just told by Whitman that they expect the books to arrive next. Should be OK to pre-order now.
