JUSTH & HUNTER GOLD BAR

  Following up on the discussion of the Justh & Hunter gold
  bar in the Lilly collection at the Smithsonian Institution, Bob
  Leonard writes: "This same bar (Justh & Hunter) was
  condemned four years ago at the 1999 ANA Convention
  numismatic theater ("Great Debate") by Ted Buttrey, and for
  the same reasons, too (markings are wrong), but Prof.
  Buttrey lacked the presentation and publicity skills of Evans,
  Holabird, and Fitch, so he was not taken seriously by many
  present or covered by the Associated Press.  It is good to
  see that the "Great Debate" is not over after all."

  [There was a great deal of commentary in The E-Sylum
  regarding the 1999 "Great Debate".  See our web site for
  archived back issues.  -Editor]
