<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Volodya, post: 2333849, member: 19615&quot;]Here&#039;s the story... I tried to convince Harlan not to include the &quot;Sulla&#039;s Dream&quot; type as one of the 100 Greatest at all. I had various reasons, but mostly I knew we had no photo of a really 1st rate example (hardly any of which exist!) and wouldn&#039;t be able to find one. Sure enough, the day the book was scheduled to go to press, just a big empty space where the pic was supposed to be. So I dropped everything at the office, raced home to get my car (well, as fast as you can &quot;race&quot; on the el) and safe deposit box key, raced to the bank to get my coin, raced home to drop off my car, got back on the el, ran from the el to the HJB office and breathlessly handed my coin to our photographer...</p><p><br /></p><p>The problems with my coin are all about the metal and very harsh destructive cleaning. In its defense, it isn&#039;t really very worn at all, is reasonably complete and reasonably well-detailed. I&#039;ve never been quite sure why I didn&#039;t return it, but it&#039;s probably the only example I&#039;ll ever own. Being in the book has no doubt enhanced its value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Phil Davis[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
