    Roger,
    I've been thinking about the paper. I should have my thoughts and
    images ready before Feb.
    Do you mean V.5-F ?
    Stan
    BTW, regarding what I said about the V.3-C undertype, I should mention
    that I have seen and photographed one other St. Pat halfpence that shows
    two shamrocks side by side. They look identical and I would think that
    it is evidence of a double strike.

    Stan, a very interesting observation. I will like to
    see the coin. By the way, you need to get back to me
    with comments on the paper. The 5-D is no longer a
    problem!! Roger
