<p>[QUOTE=&quot;George Corell, post: 2040768, member: 72869&quot;]Jim, your points are well taken and accepted.&nbsp; Actually I did take that deep breath before I wrote my last post.</p><p><br /></p><p>The directness challenging other conclusions comes from past debates.&nbsp; For over 100 years the story of 12 original Confederate Cents prevailed from John Haseltine&#039; s 1908 speech.&nbsp; My colleague and I suggested for several years there were more and all we received was a lot of flack for calling the story inaccurate.&nbsp; So we went direct and simply laid out the photographs of 13 known originals all with different pedigrees back to 1874. We know of one other for which we do not have a picture. </p><p><br /></p><p>They changed the Red Book listing.&nbsp; Neither of us have been disparaged since.&nbsp; The third party grading agencies have asked our assistance in identifying markers on counterfeits since then.</p><p><br /></p><p>This expertise is what I hoped to share on Coin talk.&nbsp; Trust me, I never expected it to be easy to break down the fiction.&nbsp; I have no issues with the members here, only the fictions they have been given to perpetuate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
