<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 580192, member: 4350&quot;]Hi,</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a piece of numismatic trivia that no one knows about<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; A bunch of years ago, and for a few years,&nbsp; the &quot;Redbook&quot;&nbsp; showed a picture of an ear on the 1997 Doubled Ear cent and labeled it as the 1984 Doubled Ear.&nbsp; I was the guy that contacted&nbsp; Tom DeLorey who was editing at the time and pointed that out<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; From that year onward,&nbsp; the picture was corrected.&nbsp; So,&nbsp; I actually contributed to the Rebook but I&#039;ll never be noted for it<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; All my older Redbooks are in the room where my cats are sleeping right now so I am not going to fuss around looking for the years.&nbsp; If someone has old editions of the Redbook,&nbsp; look through the cent section and you will at some point see the incorrect picture for two or three years straight and then it&#039;s fixed<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As a side note,&nbsp; the 1997 doubled ear cent has still not been listed in the &quot;Redbook&quot;&nbsp; although the picture of the coin was in the book for two or three years<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Have Fun,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
