Yes, Peter, I saw it. The thread was closed, so I couldn't respond. I think there is no way to thank member "Clinker" enough for his unselfish...
Thanks, Conder. Yes, the MM on Barber quarters were placed there intentionaly
FWIW, my Cherrypickers' has a picture of Jefferson Nickel 1954-S/S Rpm #1 on page #316. I have the Fourth Edition, Second Printing - August 2001.

It looks like the reproduction peices that are sold on eBay. It doesn't look like the genuine medals that are sold on other sites. How can you...
