Steve,
I hope not! <BG> I've derived a lot of pleasure in assembling them. I've made many friends in the process too. One of those friends sent me a bottle of Pear Brandy because it was brewed (?) by Williams-Birne and there's an obvious name connection. This bottle has a full size pear in it! The bottle is actually hung on the tree branch and the pear is allowed to grow in the bottle!!! Well, it now sits on top of my entertainment center as a conversation piece. There it will stay until I add the 90th NJ die variety to my collection. Then I will celebrate with Diane and enjoy this Brandy. So, can any of you help to speed up my being able to sample this gift??? <BG>
Ray
Make that read, "my 90th legitimate NJ variety" <BG>

accepted until someone should do research to prove otherwise. It's
also my opinion that any new die varieties coming to light should
not be accepted into their respective series until seriously studied
and analyzed. I think it was obvious to all that the coin in
question was a fabrication. How and when made (even with lab
analysis) is still speculation at this time. I would have felt much
better about the lab results on this coin, if performed by US Mint
scientists rather than Forensic Scientists who probably aren't
familiar with minting processes. Mario gave his opinions of what the
scientist saw. If the scientist was a numismatist rendering his
observations, I would have felt better about what I read. I'm all
for scientific analysis, but in the report I'd like to see the facts
and figures and pictures accompanied by the scientist's conclusions.
Maybe someday we can have facilities available for this...

experts will occasionally make a mistake. I will accept a scientific
study that proves to my satisfaction that a previously accepted
variety is incorrect. And I will continue to have fun with this
hobby and ALL of you.
