Sorry Morris for my impatience - HOWEVER - The only way in mind we
are going to resolve this issue is in the following manner:
1. Send two high grade Wood 33's (UNC & AU from my collection) with
a draft article to the CNL Editor. He will either confirm, deny or
CORRECT the obverse/reverse legends and I will reach some
equilibrium accord with Gart T. on this matter.
2. Once JPL & CNL agree to the legends (obv.& rev.) since the coins
MUST be viewed in person to properly give an opinion then the CNL
Technical Note is written.
3. Submit this CNL paper to Charlton Press with the offer that their
expert (Wayne Jacobs?)can also view these specimens & can make the
editing change if he agrees to the corrected legend.
4. Ten years ago when I submitted my UNC W33 to Warren Baker he
confirmed there was a legend change REQUIRED. However no follow-up
was performed in 1995. Bill Anton last night confirmed the legend
change.
5. In a way - NOW (2005) ten years later! - this is perfect timing
Morris because a small core group - POSSIBLY - with yourself as a
lead could also swing this variety out of the Blacksmith group into
the Evasion group. HOWEVER - this may be TOO MUCH for the Charlton
group to swallow all at once.
I suspect that on your W33 there is not enough details to see this
legend change. Over the years I must have handled over 100 W33's not
including the Albany Hoard which I viewed. There is a marked
difference in the legend going from UNC to XF to Fine. This is a
complex coin in this respect and in some ways UNIQUE as how the
legends change due to circulation - ONLY!
