<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tenacious, post: 415287, member: 14553&quot;]I looked in the book, <i>The Complete Guide to Liberty Seated Dimes</i>, by Brian Greer. He only says:</p><p><br /></p><p><i>&quot;For years this date was overpriced because of promotional efforts of the late Frank C. Ross, a writer from Kansas City. He nicknamed it the &quot;Little Orphan Annie&quot; dime. In recent years prices adjusted to its rarity but prices are once again escalating due to heavy demand. Comes with nice problem <b>free</b> surfaces more than any other dates of this era.&quot;</i></p><p><br /></p><p>The Greer book was published in 1992.</p><p><br /></p><p>That doesn&#039;t tell much. Why did &quot;Frank C. Ross&quot; promote it? Maybe he had a hoard of 1844s and wanted to drive up the price? </p><p><br /></p><p>If someone researches &quot;Frank C. Ross&quot; maybe more can be found out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
