1794 DOLLAR MANUSCRIPT

  David Perkins writes: "I corresponded with Jack Collins (both
  in writing, and in person) and forwarded information on certain
  1794 dollars prior to his passing away.  The manuscript exists,
  probably in different stages depending  upon whose copy  is
  being viewed.   I saw the original manuscript once, at the
  Anaheim ANA convention, and as I recall the photo quality
  was uneven.   My understanding was some were good (taken
  by Jack or negatives secured), some were shot from old
  catalogs, some  photocopied,  etc.  This may have been one
  reason Jack did not publish the book.

  I pushed getting the 1794 Dollar book published a few years
  ago at the New York City ANA Convention.  I had a number
  of people, myself included, willing to fund bringing the research
  up to date and publishing the book.  If I recall correctly, the
  conversation was with Hodder, Martin, myself and maybe
  one other party.

  The research was most likely current up to when Jack passed
  away, thus someone would have to bring the book up to date.
  The copy I have is titled something like "The History and
  Genealogy of the 1794 Dollar."
