HALF CENT RESEARCH QUESTIONS

  Gregg A. Silvis writes: "Two questions for readers of
  The E-Sylum:

  1.  I have a photocopy of an article entitled "Famous Half
  Cent Collection," which I believe comes from page 52 of
  the Vol. VI, June, 1928 issue of Guttag's Coin Bulletin.
  Could someone please confirm that this citation is correct?
  Also, I believe that in the August, 1928 issue of Guttag's
  Coin Bulletin, it is stated that this same collection, that of
  Commodore Eaton, was sold within 24 hours.  If possible,
   I would like to get a copy of this August, 1928 issue.
   Please contact me at gregg at udel.edu.  Thanks!

  2.  I understand from various sources that copies (drafts?)
  of Walter Breen's unpublished half cent book had some
  limited circulation among some dealers during the late 1950's
  and early 1960's.  Would anyone be able to confirm this?
  Are there any copies floating around out there? Thanks
  again!"
