EARL & KOEHLER LINCOLN CENT COIN BOARD SURFACES

After the publicity I received from the record price paid for a coin board, I received a call from someone who had an example of the same publisher's coin board for Lincoln Cents that he was willing to sell. While a cent board of Earl & Koehler is not quite as rare as the Buffalo Nickel board sold previously, it's still big news when another E & K board surfaces. We quickly came to an agreement on price, and the board arrived within a few days. It turned out to be a known variety, Lange number EK1cAb.1, and it was in the same grade as the one in my own collection.

Here's what really makes the story memorable: Bill Koehler, son of coin board co-publisher Frank Koehler, had been seeking one of his father's boards for some time. I had to work my way down my want lists from customers before I could finally secure this one for him, and now it will be returning to the family that produced it way back in 1939.
