BEISTLE PACKING MATERIALS
American Numismatic Association curator Lawrence Lee writes:
"Regarding Martin Luther Beistle and his book "The Register of
Half Dollar Die Varieties and Sub-Varieties: Aficionados of Beistle
minutia may be interested to learn that the ANA Museum has in its
collection the original metal plates used in printing both the 1929
and 1964 editions of Beistle's book. The plates were a gift from
Aubrey Bebee. Dick Johnson's history of Beistle's paper company
helped explain one of the questions about this donation: the plates
are separated by pieces of cardboard with various Halloween
cut-outs imprinted on them."
