I recognize A M Smith and Crosby (I may have a copy of the 1965 reprint you mentioned. I have three different editions but I don't remember which...
True, but that had nothing to do with the discussion about COPY. As I said that discussion related to post #7 The thread kind of got hijacked.
But remember from the article, he wouldn't let Weinberg look at the coin. I've heard of this coin before, and believe it or not there is actually...
