NEWMAN PORTAL ADDS HALF CRAZYThe latest addition to the Newman Numismatic Portal is the recent May issue of Half Crazy. Project Coordinator Len Augsburger provided the following report. -Editor 
Newman Portal Adds Half Crazy Among the publications regularly archived by Newman Portal is the Seated Half Society (SHS) newsletter, Half Crazy, edited by Dennis Fortier. The SHS is akin to the Bust Half Nut Club, which requires members to build a significant collection of half dollar die marriages as a condition of membership. Half dollars of this era were struck in large quantities and remain eminently collectible today at many price points. The recent May issue of Half Crazy includes a feature on the 1846 Tall Date and Medium Date varieties, one of the most incorrectly attributed issues in the series, despite the clarifying images in the Guide Book and other sources.
