<p>[QUOTE=&quot;halfcent1793, post: 4600737, member: 86853&quot;]There is a lot in numismatics, like many other things, that have been repeated often enough that people believe them, but that doesn&#039;t make them true. Like the notion that wearing a surgical mask prevents breathing. If it did, all the doctors and nurses would be dead.</p><p><br /></p><p>The notched or scalloped (depending on who you read) 13th star appeared when Reich joined the engraving department and ended when he left. It is quite logical to conclude that he probably cut that punch and punched it into the dies. That does not constitute evidence that he designed any coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Breen wrote that Reich&#039;s first job was to replace the &quot;unsatisfactory&quot; Scot designs. How many on this form consider the Draped Bust to be an unsatisfactory design?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m actually researching this topic from primary sources. As yet I have no evidence that Reich designed any coins. Medals and seals, yes, but not coins. That doesn&#039;t prove he didn&#039;t (you can never prove a negative), but so far there is no evidence that he did.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
