ANS MARIS NEW JERSEY PLATE PHOTO INFORMATION SOUGHT

Roger Moore adds: "There is one other request that I
have.  When researching the Maris Plate papers I wrote
for The Colonial Newsletter there were rumors that a
large photograph was made of an original Maris Plate I
photograph by the American Numismatic Society.  These
large photographs were evidently given to major ANS
patrons back in the 1950s, 1960s or 1970s.  I tried
to find someone with this photograph at the time I was
writing the papers but was unsuccessful.  At the Colonial
Coin Collectors Club (C-4) auction in Boston last month,
I bought two large mounted photographs of an original
Maris Plate I photograph.  They were donated to the C-4
auction by Tony Terranova and he indicated that he had
obtained them from a relative of Richard Picker following
Richard's death.  I believe these are the photographs
that ANS made and I plan to research them further at ANS,
but would appreciate any input from others who may have
received copies of them or at least had knowledge about
the reproductions made by ANS."
