<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2589248, member: 24314&quot;]Your basic Type photos and info above are very BASIC yet very helpful. However, IMO, just because the &quot;experts&quot; don&#039;t choose to recognize something that makes their publications, <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie103" alt=":yack:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie103" alt=":yack:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, and the chart above <span style="color: #b300b3">very basic &amp; </span><b><span style="color: #ff0000">very obsolete</span> </b>does not make it correct. </p><p><br /></p><p>For example: I&#039;ll bet the numismatic community and professional numismatic experts don&#039;t use and I have not seen your Type 1.5 obverse nomenclature anywhere except in the <i>Gobrecht Journal</i>.</p><p><br /></p><p>So why post it?&nbsp; I&#039;ll tell you why and<span style="color: #ff0000"> this is not directed to you specifically. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></span>&nbsp; New information and new discoveries are made all the time in numismatics.&nbsp; I should think the experts and the numismatic community would be anxious to further the knowledge about our coins rather than burying it or making up new things like &quot;touched-up pattern dies, reworked experimental striking, etc.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes it takes a long time to turn the &quot;ship of convention&quot; to a new course.&nbsp; Look at the Shield nickel series with all the different hubs that are unappreciated. Do you agree? </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I can see why the Trade dollar collectors wish to keep the status quo.&nbsp; The &quot;so-called&quot; complete Registry Sets of Trade dollars are VERY INCOMPLETE <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
