<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andrew McCabe, post: 3496715, member: 90666&quot;]That&#039;s very interesting, as I mentioned other tickets are known from the 1970s with the same red text on different backgrounds belonging to the same &quot;S.C.&quot; collection which is generally understood to stand for Southern California. That leaves open several possibilities, one being that Joel Malter was an intermediate who purchased from other sources and sold to S.C. (but why sign your own tickets??), and one (unlikely in my view) that these are all somehow coins that once belonged to Malter (but why sign your own tickets???). A third possibility is that the writing is indeed the S.C. collector who then wrote &quot;Joel Malter 1-23-75&quot; to indicate who he bought the coin from, i.e. that this isn&#039;t Malter&#039;s handwriting at all but that of the collector. Regrettably this seems most likely, as the name is likely a source, written by buyer, who then wrote the actual price paid. The NFA ticket is in different handwriting akin to how my ticket has different black handwriting and that would make sense as a seller handwriting tho this coin passed via Malter. It was suggested to me on Forum that the black handwritten ticket was ex Superior; that drew a blank - I checked Newman. There&#039;s no Malter specific material on Newman, but perhaps I don&#039;t know where to look. Thank you for this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Right now I still think your coin has the collector&#039;s handwriting in red, indicating he bought from Malter for $79.50, and Malter obtained the coin from N.F.A. for a price probably significantly less than the $75 that N.F.A. marked.</p><p><br /></p><p>More red painted S.C. tickets would help. And/or a sample signature of Joel Malter![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
