Well knowing that we will have a house full of grandchildren in just a few hours we went ahead and posted our July update to the 1881-O web site. Here is what we are tackling this month 1. An update to our quest to build our graded inventory 2. Notes on three books we finished this month 3. A big step toward our die crack analysis by making it through 28 of the obverse dies where there is a one-to-one ratio with a VAM. This also includes a new summary page to track the progress toward the analysis of all the dies. A lot more is in the works in this area, but this one just takes time. 4. A little side trip to talk about Marie Laveau, the Voodoo queen of New Orleans who died in 1881 http://www.1881o.com/2017-07.html
