Ray - Here is the situation. Say you were in a particular collecting
niche of specialized tokens. Then - every couple of months or so you
would discover a new variety. If you try to report there is
virtually no pulse from any other colectors in this field, since
most collectors have simply been "ballparking" the design elements
to the closest already pictured variety for the last 100 years from
major auction sales or a standard reference - even though sometimes
its not even close. What do you do??? If you try to tell them its a
new die combination - you simply get no response - how would you
collect in this niche and how do you (if possible) change the
mindset in this niche that a new discovery exist. What was even more
amazing was I recieved an alert from a collector on two specimens to
be offered on E-Bay saying these two particular specimens were not
of this varieties A & B but were of the varieties C & D but in
reality they were actually new discovery specimens E & F!!!
