  QUIZ ANSWER: WAYTE RAYMOND STANDARD CATALOGUE MISTAKE
  

  Last week David Gladfelter asked, "What rather prominent mistake
  can be found in each and every edition of the 'Standard Catalog of
  United States Coins' from the first through the 18th?"
  

  Kenneth Bressett writes: "My guess is their listing of the Good
  Samaritan Shilling. It continued right through all 18 editions even
  though it was a well known concoction, and not a pattern or genuine
  coins."
  

  David Gladfelter provided this answer to his question: "The reverses
  on the 1798 small eagle 15-star dollar and 13-star dollar are
  transposed in all editions. Maybe this isn't as obvious as I thought
  since both reverses have small (not heraldic) eagles."
