1836 PATTERN INFO SOUGHT

  Alan Meghrig writes: "A few years ago someone was talking
  about an 1836 two-cent pattern. As I recall the question, it
  was about when was the example they were commenting on
  produced,  the production date being questionable because of
  restrikes.  If this is something one of or readers wanted to know,
  e-mail me. I will try to answer. My address is

  While I have everybody's attention....  Does anyone have an
  exact reference for separating Originals from Restrikes of the
  1836 Two-cent patterns?   I may have missed a clear statement
  by some cataloger.  My impression is, that it was once common
  knowledge how to distinguish them; but no one published it.
  The older listings refer to 'buckled die' when talking about the
  Restrike. Today we refer to it as a 'die crack'.  I am looking for
  a source reference."
