transitional variety

I think you'll have to wait until John Wexler returns it to him.
Steven can let you know for sure though.

No problemo.

Well, the second specimen I came across earlier today I put up on auction. So, will see what this one brings.

Cool! That's one to watch.

I'm hoping Steven might contact me in arranging to examine and photograph his D-Mint Transitional variety. If I could examine and photograph it then I would add it to my files and publish it in the next issue of DVN which would even bring more publicity to these most interesting and well deserved varieties.

Billy

Billy, I would be glad to send it for your examination soon as it gets back from John.

Thank you very much Steven for the opportunity to examine and photograph your 1988-D Transitional variety. It is very much appreciated.

Regards,

(I promise I won't post any more picture of quarters,... )

Tried lining the angle up on the shots with the ones in DVN, in case you wish to compare..

Congrats Wheat Cents! That's great news! Reading my DVN helped in your finding a variety you didn't even know you had.

John's article in the April 08 Coin world as well as your's in a back issue of DVN about Mr Russell's daughter DDO discoveries was inspirational. and it is nice to see kids show an interest.

Car10,
You told me about 3 days ago to wait to get mine graded because it is going to be in the redbook for 2009. I was going to send it to James Wiles and give him the funds to send to ICG. But i will hold off until it hits the redbook. And also you said it is going to be in the new cherry pickers guide, when is that coming out i would like to get a copy of it.

Patrick, that is NOT what I said. Here is an exerpt from my reply to your email:

As you can see from this exerpt, I said "IF" it makes the fifth edition of the CPG. I also said "IF" it makes The Red Book. I never said 2009. If you need me to resend the entire email please let me know. I don't know when the new CPG is coming out. I told you to keep checking back at LCR for that information because it is sure to be announced when it happens.

David,
I am REALLY sorry for the misunderstanding i was not trying to get you mad, So if i still send it to James Wiles to get graded it will be OK then?. It would be AWESOME if it does make it into the publications like you mentioned, and it would greatly make the VARIETY really popular and more VALUABLE. I see you have a RED smile face there i do not like to see that and i am VERY sorry.

No sweat. It's just that I didn't appreciate being mis-quoted in a public forum. Also, I had just woken up from a not very good night sleep. No hard feelings. It is entirely up to you what you decide to do with your coin. I can't tell you what is the right thing to do.

Well, things are looking better all the time for the future of the 1988 transitional variety coins.
Last night I received a message from John Wexler asking me to send my coin to him to photograph for inclusion in the second edition of The Authoritative Reference on Lincoln Cents, the book that he and Kevin Flynn are currently working on.
It's off to the post office now for my favorite coin. Bon Voyage and hurry home.

I received the coin back from John Wexler today. Safe and sound. Whew! More publicity on the way. As soon as anyone notices the second edition of The Authoritative Reference on Lincoln Cents is out please post the annoucement on LCR. I can't wait to spend my money.
