<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CaptHenway, post: 4786341, member: 13813&quot;]The original version of this chart was compiled and printed in the late 1960&#039;s or early 1970&#039;s by Coin World&#039;s Collectors Clearinghouse Editor Ed Fleischmann. I later worked for Ed until he went to work for ANACS and I took over the department. During my time there I would have made any necessary updates, as would have Bill Gibbs after me.</p><p><br /></p><p>The chart was originally compiled for in-house use to determine whether certain coins actually qualified as errors, or whether they were simply coins &quot;within tolerance.&quot; Remember that this era had a fair number of wrong stock errors coming out of the Mint, such as dimes punched from quarter stock or quarters struck from dime stock. These errors were quite collectible, and Ed wanted to quantify them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ed was very meticulous. He worked from Mint Reports old and new (we had a great library) and other official documents, and from correspondence with the Mint&#039;s Laboratory. Back then the Mint had decent people who would actually respond to correspondence with helpful information, unlike the Mint&#039;s current public information office.</p><p><br /></p><p>You may assume that the chart is factual until proven otherwise.</p><p><br /></p><p>TD[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
