    Yup. J.N.T Levick, Ed Cogan, Mickley, et al were allowed into the mint to pick out what they wanted at face value - they just had to pay in silver or gold. Boo hoo!

    Levick wrote that after a few times, the mint workers figured out what they were looking for and after that they couldn't find anything.

    If you're a member of EAC, I wrote an article or two on this in 1999, IIRC. Take a look at the PW CD or up on the website.

    Anything else I would have said had already been said. All of the white specks on your coin made me want to blow on my screen.

    Fair enough. If you insist on detracting a thread which is supposed to be interesting and informative, with comments which hover at the level of a Kindergarten, I guess there is nothing I can do to stop you.

    He's just jealous he can't afford your coin.

    Yup. Ed, don't let the trolls get you down. Lint or not, that's a nice LC.

    Did someone hack your account? You have never struck me as the type of person to make silly ad hominem attacks. You are too classy for that.

    I unmuted your comment just to see what misinformation you spewed, and you could not be any more incorrect. I know I cannot afford any of Eduard’s coins, and I appreciate that he shares them (have I ever ridiculed his coins before? Nope). Just in this case I found the lint distracting and suggested that he should remove it.

    Very interesting, and thank you for pointing me to PW for further reading. I have located 6 issues of PW for the year 1999. I will leaf through each to find the articles you wrote.

    I, for one, never knew about the additives to canned air.

    Good show, @Eduard. BTW I have issues with specks, lint, etc. too. No big deal.

    Try this. Take a can, put the firing end of the straw in the palm of your hand. Pull the trigger. Feel what hits your hand? Doesn't it feel like liquid? Now taste the palm of your hand where the air hit. Taste a little funky and bitter?

    I would never recommend putting questionable substances NEAR a valuable coin, much less blast the surface with them. Just the idea makes me cringe.

    Instead, get an ear flushing bulb from Walmart. That will direct a stream of normal air and remove dust if necessary.

    You've found all of them then. Back then it was issued bimonthly. Now it's quarterly.

    CoinCorgi, PW stands for Penny-Wise. It is "The journal of Early American Coppers, Inc., popularly known as "EAC," Penny-Wise presents the latest research on the early large cents and half cents of the United States".

    I was able to access it via the EAC website which took me to the Newman Numismatic Portal. As a member of EAC you can access the documents.
    It may be possible to access directly to the Numismatic Portal, but you may need to register there. I am not sure.

    The Newman Portal is free - https://nnp.wustl.edu. For the PW article, select Library from the top menu bar, then Periodicals, then P for Pennywise, then Pennywise, then 1999.

    The article is in the final issue of that year, Nov 15, - "Mass Melting of the Early Copper Coinage."
