WALTER'S SECRET CODE?

"Incidentally, has anyone broken Walter's secret code? What is the meaning of the secret mark "297B" in the name index following the name Robert Graham?

It is no secret Walter did not like the design of the 1984 Olympic Silver Dollar. His words are well chosen, yet very unflattering in his description. But the "297B" in the index does not refer to the page number (606), nor the catalog number (7602) of this coin. Could it be Walter's secret word for what he really meant? Can it appear in print in this proper publication? Was it his way of sticking it to the artist? I'm curious to know."
