[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 5271633, member: 21705"]Good Morning Guys and Gals! I just woke up this morning and made a new discovery. I had tranferred the Noyes photos of 1796 NC-2s onto my computer so I could enlarge them for comparison. Imagine my surprise when one is a photo of an NC-3 rather than a NC-2. [ATTACH=full]1220391[/ATTACH] Thinking I had made a mistake, I double checked the photo in Noyes and there it was, two leaves at (N)T, though the image looks darker in the Noyes book than in my photo. Now there are two possibilities left. One is a publication error similar to what happened several times with Breen's Encyclopedia where the wrong photos were used in the publication. But this would be the first I've found in any Noyes book, even with the much larger number of photos. Two, it is possible that a well known coin was mis-attributed initially and thereafter changed hands without further attribution like what happened with the 1793 NC-6 I discovered a couple of years ago. If it's a case of the second, There would be only 10 NC-2s with my new one. I'm not sure who I could contact to find out which possibility has occurred.[/QUOTE]
