BREEN AND RAYMOND'S STANDARD CATALOGUE

Terry Stahurski writes: "David Fanning asked about Walter
Breen's involvement with earlier editions of Wayte Raymond's
The Standard Catalogue of United States Coins. In my copy
of the 16th edition (1953) on the page with the copyright is
the following: "Associate editor of this edition John J. Ford, Jr./
Research by Walter Breen". I didn't see Breen mentioned in
the earlier editions I have.

Breen writes about "a historic meeting" between himself and
Raymond on Dec. 2, 1950 in his 1983 book Walter Breen's
Encyclopedia of United States Half Cents 1793-1857. This
might shed some light on Breen's earlier work with Raymond.

I always enjoy reading the E-Sylum -- keep up the good
work."
