A NUMISMATIC BOOMERANG

  Ray Williams writes: "A year or so ago, I was bidding on a
  Maris book on NJ Coppers.  There was little description to it
  and I bid low (about $15 if I remember).  When I received the
  book in the mail, I found it to be the Ken Morrison half size
  reprint with the half size photographic Maris Plate!  Not only
  was this a great surprise in itself, along with the book was one
  of the full size Maris Plates that Charlie Davis sells.  But the
  icing on the cake was still to come...  Years ago, I had
  communicated with Walter Breen and with his help made a
  chart to convert Maris numbers to Breen numbers and Breen
  numbers to Maris numbers.  This chart was published in the
  Early American Coppers journal Penny Wise and the owner
  of this Maris book thought enough of what I did to include a
  copy of my charts with this book.  I know that at least one
  person used the charts!"
