I contains a link to a 2016 discussion on Cu about these coins.  At the time I posted in the thread I did not want anyone on CU to know I was the "rookie Authenticator" who first detected the coins.  In that thread I was looking for my files so I guess they are lost.  It had the original booklet with Walter Breen's findings at the Smithsonian.  Anyway, as I posted, there is mostly a bunch of nonsense posted about these coins and their discovery on the Internet.  The entire story was told in my "Insight on Coinage" newsletter.  The ANA Library probably trashed the issues I sent them but Eric Newman probably has a copy in his portal.  One day I'll need to search for it.[/QUOTE]
