  F.C.C. BOYD COUNTERSTAMPED BUST HALF INFORMATION SOUGHT
  

  Ray Flanigan writes: "I'm looking for some help on F.C.C. Boyd.
  I recently came across a Bust Half with FCC BOYD counterstamped
  across the face. Boyd was a prominent numismatist in the early
  1900s, joined the ANA and served 3 terms as President of the
  New York Numismatic Club. That's where my meager library left
  me. Does anyone know of sources of information on FCC Boyd or
  how the coins came to be counterstamped? My email address is
  RFlanigan@ec.rr.com"
  

  [We've published some information on Boyd in previous E-Sylum
  issues; here are a few of interest:

  This last article, referring to the Ford I sale by Stack's
  (October 14, 2003) notes that "Many of Ford's key coins came
  from the estate of F.C.C. Boyd, and the catalog includes a
  3-page essay on Boyd."
  

  Perhaps one of the Bust Half collectors among our readership
  can tell us more about Boyd's counterstamped halves.
