<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 8024393, member: 112&quot;]By all means try but I think you&#039;re fighting an uphill battle at best, and maybe an unwinnable one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lemme tell ya a short story. I&#039;m gonna guess it was at least 15 if not almost 20 years ago one of my students started doing research on the US &#039;32-S quarter. It was his belief that there were several varieties of this coin based on the mint mark alone - and I agreed completely with him. Now he had dozens and dozens of pictures of the various examples garnered from various auction house archives and catalogs. And he worked on this for probably almost 2 years. I helped him and rewrite an article about it numerous times until we were both happy with the result. Then, he submitted the article to Coin World for consideration of publication.</p><p><br /></p><p>Their response was a flat out no, they would not even consider such an article. Their stated reason for refusal of consideration was because all he had was pictures of all the various examples, he didn&#039;t have the actual coins in hand. Oh he had a few coins in hand but just a few. And, because no one else, with a prominent and known name in the hobby, had ever noticed that there were varieties of this coin - even though it is a somewhat special coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line the article was never published. And to the best of my knowledge anyway there has never been an article about it written by anybody and published. But it is my belief that he was absolutely correct and that there are several different varieties of this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, he was and still is a member of this forum though he rarely post here anymore, and he was still a teenager, 15 or 16, when he did all this. It would have been, and should have been, quite a feather in his cap for someone so young to do what none of the so called experts had ever previously done. But I still have copies of the article - and I remember <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now I sincerely hope that you have better luck than he had mlov, so give it a go and I&#039;ll wish all the luck in the world ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
