Does anyone know who owns Dr. Judd’s plain edge Birch Cent which is the only other believed to grade Uncirculated besides the recently sold Garrett-Patrick coin ? To my knowledge, it has not appeared since its offering in the Kosoff’s Illustrated History of US Coins which was a fixed price list of Dr. Judd’s coins.

Also, the fixed price list of the Lexox Lohr patterns had a lettered edge example graded XF which is also unidentified.

Any help the E-sylumites can supply would be greatly appreciated.

As to the $1.2 million "penny," here is a news blurb that called it a "Birth Cent." If you watch the attached video, you will see that it was sold by "Stack's-Bowsers Galleries!"

Prototype US penny sold for 117.5 million pennies. There's a reason why my cell # ends in 1792!

A minor quibble...Victor, Colorado is Southeast of Cripple Creek, not Southwest. We drove through there last Summer after visiting Cripple Creek.

On the Lesher Dollars, there was a detailed account written by Dr. Philip W.Whiteley, serialized in the Numismatic Scrapbook Magazine in the 1958 Oct.-Dec. issues. It gave history, photos of the coins, pedigree information, and rarity. If any of our readers have these issues, I believe they will find them interesting.

When I saw Mary Burleson holding the deluxe Red Book it took me a second or two to realize that it was not a box of cereal. That's exactly what it looks like in the photo, and I thought, Wow! That's cross-marketing in the extreme---Red Book Frosted Flakes.

I really enjoyed the photos of the west coast library. I remember when I suggested readers do that, and sent photos of my library. Several people told that they liked them.
