1913 LIBERTY NICKEL - ART KAGIN CONNECTION

  Donn Pearlman writes: "Thanks for the kind words about my
  photography (The E-Sylum: Volume 6, Number 32, August 10,
  2003).  I only had about 60 seconds to take the photo, and I
  was using -- for the first time -- a two-week old camera, a
  Nikon Coolpix 4300 digital.   I was amazed and delighted my
  close up of the Walton 1913 Liberty Head nickel came out so
  well.

  Only hours later did I learn I should have taken a shot of the
  reverse, too.  It seems a crucial diagnostic for determining
  authenticity involves an element on the reverse.

  One correction to your article about the five 1913 nickels in
  Baltimore.  There apparently are at least TWO surviving
  numismatists who had seen all five coins together prior to the
  historic reunion in Baltimore in July.  Eric Newman, mentioned
  in your article, and Art Kagin, who saw the five together in the
  late 1930s or early '40s prior to the "set" being broken up."
