1802 HALF DIME ARTICLES FOUND

In a note to David J. Davis, Joel Orosz forwarded references to two items regarding U.S. 1802 Half Dimes:

"The first is "Another 1802 Half Dime Unearthed", about a specimen discovered in Missouri that Ebenezer Locke Mason had purchased, in Mason's Coin Collectors' Herald, for September of 1879.

The second is "The 1802 Half Dime" , which follows up on the story, and reveals the source to be E.F. Gambs, a St. Louis Stamp and Coin Dealer. This is in Mason's Coin Collectors' Herald, for December of 1879. This issue also carries an ad for Gambs' business."
