Any help would be appreciated, can't seem to locate one, I figured one of the members here may have an extra copy.

Thanks,

Jeff

    Contact Barndog, he had one for sale just a couple weeks ago. Not sure if he sold it or not.

    I'm letting him have the one you gave me, Rich.

    Hope that doesn't offend you, with it having been a nice gesture on your part, and how we all signed it after history was made with the 1806 O-129 discovery and all, but he wants it and I don't use it since the die variety minutiae doesn't appeal to me that much. We're discussing a trade. One of the conditions of the deal is that he'll be my "go to" guy when I need attributions.

    And I have that gift for you in the mail tomorrow if I can find it (wasn't where I thought it was- must be out with the storage).

    I might no longer keep the book that was my booby prize for letting the cherrypick of a lifetime slip through my unknowing fingers, but I'll still have the story- we both will.

    Funny, TexasNationals and I just were talking CircCams and I showed a picture of that 1854 half dime you got from me recently. One of these days I am gonna write the CircCam article for The Numismatist and will probably use my old picture of that coin, plus one of my 1838 No Drapery quarter (which goes off to PCGS tomorrow), as representative examples.

    No matter what happens the book is in good hands, will be used correctly and the story will be passed along for all to tell!

    Your new book on the inner cover has a photograph affixed to it of the 1806 O.129 Discovery coin (still unique) and the signatures of the only 3 known owners of the coin (LordM, myself and David Hatfield - current owner). It's a special book, not as special as the 1806 O.129 but special none the less. If you ever decide to move the book please let me know and I'll gladly buy it from you.

    I hope my parting with the book doesn't seem crass. I told him about the signatures and the pic of the O-129 1806 discovery coin in the front cover. I think it kind of adds a premium. I am signing the book over to him, with the wishes that he may use it well. Since I wasn't using it it was mostly a nice keepsake for me. The gesture is well remembered and appreciated, still. I would rather have the book appreciated and used than collecting dust on my overcluttered shelves, though.
