DEXTER 1804 DOLLAR NOTEBOOK SOUGHT

Brent Pogue writes: "I'm writing to you on Dave Bowers'
suggestion. Five or six years ago my father purchased the
Dexter 1804 Silver Dollar. When it sold in the Bareford sale
in 1981, a notebook of original correspondence was passed
along to the successful bidder. The catalogue mentions these
documents, but they were separated from the coin at some
point, and I would like to reunite them. Can your readers
assist me? I believe they belong with the coin and should
pass on to the next custodian when that time comes."

[Dave Bowers' 1999 book, "The Rare Silver Dollars Dated
1804 and the Exciting Adventures of Edmund Roberts"
listed the post-Bareford pedigree of the coin as follows:

"1981-1985: Rarcoa (Ed Milas), Chicago, Illinois
1985-1989: Leon Hendrickson and George Weingart
1989: Racroa Auction '89, Lot 247
1990-? American Rare Coin Fund, L.P.,
Hugh Sconyers, financial manager, Kevin Lipton,
numismatic manager
1990s, early: Northern California collector
1993, July: Superior Galleries sale. Reserve not met;
returned to consignor.
1994: May 30-32: Superior Galleries sale.
1994: Harlan White, proprietor of the Old Coin Shop,
San Diego, California.
Private Southeastern collection."

Any leads on the notebook's whereabouts will be appreciated.
