Information regarding the INCO and Gould coin composition tests of 1964-65 and 1977-78 is actively solicited as part of a detailed research project on these "private pattern pieces." I'm looking for documents, personal recollections, sample pieces and any other information collectors might have available. Appropriate credit will be given in the article.
The research will clarify, update and correct Andrew Pollock's published material. It will also provide collectors with a factual basis for examining their examples, and better understanding how they were created and used.
Welcome to the forums Roger, Im a big fan of your books. Theres a good variety (no pun intended) of collectors here on CT. Im sure someone has exactly what you need. If you dont mind leave the link to the article when its finished and Ill take a look at it. Ill see what I can find.
Roger you sould have two emails coming linking you with Robc as you requested to discuss this subject.
I've written letters to Mr. Crawford and a couple of others connected with the INCO project. Not sure I have the correct people, though. Most are in their mid-80s. Not sure what information is out there after so long, but time is critical for contacting participants.
