Message:: [QUOTE="Marshall, post: 3391031, member: 21705"]While I am proud of this potential discovery, it is important to recognize that final confirmation lies ahead and has not completed. I anxiously await the thoughts of the additional independent experts who will examination it at the EAC convention in May. I'm hoping Noyes and Bland are among the experts since they are two well known keepers of the census records. While I have discovered new examples of several varieties, they are usually R5 rarities. The S-39 is still R6- though it may not be for long. I did have a minor pert in confirming a 1795 NC-3 a few years ago by a well known contributor to this site and actually bid on an unattributed one a little earlier though the seller dropped his listing while I was the high bidder. I don't know if they were the same coin or not because the photos were poor, though good enough to identify the unique reverse. That is still a R7 though I saw either the same one or an additional one earlier this year being auctioned on Heritage so I think the census has doubled while I've been following it unless it is again, the same coin. Oh, how could I forget the coin that started it all off. Jack's new find of a S-16 which is R6+. I was happy to be one of several who confirmed the attribution of his coin. If not for that, I probably would not have been looking through the Archives and found the NC-6. But this will be the best if confirmed.[/QUOTE]
