[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 170824, member: 4350"]Hi, There are a lot of misconceptions about the Cherrypickers' guide (First Volume). A lot was done by JT and Bill of course, but a huge amount was also done by Mike Ellis who seems never to get the credit he deserves for his work. I know when I mention the book in a column, I always add, "Edited by Mike Ellis" . ( I dont actually know who did the editing for Volume 2) Without knowing how the book was produced, It's unfair to pin anything on JT, Mike or Bill for anything as particular as that. From personal experience, I also know that it can be tough to determine who found something first. A few times something that has been reported or thought to be a first discovery turns out to be a coin I discovered years ago. I lead folks to Ken Potter to prove that I was the first to discover a variety as I send new stuff to him for attribution. That kind of stuff happens all the time since there is not just one place to report new finds. While I am not familiar with the particular reference you are talking about and there may be an error in the reporting of a variety, it may also be that after the research was done that the variety had been reported before by someone else. I would suggest that if the discovery of a variety was credited to the wrong person, it might be a good idea to write to Bill, or JT with the person they can talk to that has attributed the coin as the first of it's variety to be found. Just a thought, Bill[/QUOTE]
