WOODIN PATTERN DEAL INFORMATION SOUGHT

Relating to William Woodin's windfall of pattern coins from the U.S.
Mint that he later sold for $250,000, R.V. Dewey writes: "Does anyone
know how many coins, or the combined weight of the patterns Mr. Woodin
took home from the basement of the Philadelphia Mint? What year? How were
they moved from the basement and then transported?  In what year and
how many coins did Mr. Newcomer receive for his $150,000.00?  In what
year and how many coins did Mr. Granberg receive for his $100,000.00?"

[It's getting late and I'm not sure where the first reports of Woodin's
deal with the Mint were published, and I don't recall the Newcomer/
Granberg transactions.  Can anyone fill us in with more details?
