Garryn,

Yes, the coin is in my "Rians' Bequeath Carson City Coin Collection" I bought it on June 5, 2008 from Southgate Coins.

Carsonite,

Thanks for the complementary review Mr. Editor! To be honest, I should not have attempted this kind of article for my coin of the week posting given my work schedule. As you can tell, I simply did not have enough time to carefully proof the writing. When re-reading it today, I easily found a half dozen obvious mistakes and several poorly chosen words or phrases. I think I finally hit the "submit" button around 2 am Sunday night only to get back up at 6 am to deal with my own business work load.

Regardless, I enjoyed the challenge of writing about this rarity and would have liked to receive your REAL editing/writing analysis...though neither of us have the time for such an indulgence this week.

Drummer,

Glad you enjoyed the Holmes and Watson episode. Not quite as suspenseful as "Hounds of the Baskervilles". I hope you didn't mind being dragged into the opening.

There was a ton more to say and several interesting tangents that I simply could not fit in. Ultimately, I cut out about 40% off the first draft.

See ya Friday.

Great Stuff Belay Off. I have learned so much from you guys. I know in the past Belay that you asked for an article for Coin of the Week from me and after reading and re reading I am a little bit gun shy. However I may take you up on the offer and see what I could do. I am ready for an assignment. I know for sure that I would need help for posting pictures but i feel I could work around that.

Loosechange,

Keep in mind that none of us who write these short articles are anything more than enthusiastic C4OA members. With the exception of a few articles in Curry's Chronicle, none of us have written for publications previousy...we're all pretty green still!

I'll get in touch with you to discuss this further off-board.
