Hello and Happy Autumn to all C4OAers!

Even though winter has not technically begun, as your C4OA membership services representative, I am proud to announce that the winter 2008 edition of Curry's Chronicle has already been shipped from our printers. (Of course, that means that we are a whopping eleven days ahead of schedule!)

I have already published the winter 2008 Curry’s Chronicle table of contents, containing eight articles that will be appearing in this issue, so please browse the right-hand column of the blogsite to view them. I think that reading them should give you that familiar tingle of anticipation.

For those of you that contributed to this chronicle by submitting articles and letters to the editor, we solemnly thank you, and hope that you continue contributing. For those of you that have not submitted anything, I hope this issue assures you that no matter what your expertise level is, your articles and letters to the editor will be treasured, and they will become apart of the C4OA legacy.

Aside from the anticipation of receiving your Curry's Chronicle, I hope that you all have a wonderful end-of-November, and a very special Thanksgiving holiday.

Warmest regards,

Maya

1873-CC WITHOUT ARROWS DIME...2 SURVIVORS...HERE WE GO AGAIN!

Is there any way to clear up the 1873-CC Without Arrows dime controversy? In the latest issue of Coin Values Oct. 2008 issue, which accompanies the Coin World Aug. 4, 2008 issue, there is an article (page 30) by Al Doyle (who I had the pleasure of meeting at our club meeting in Baltimore) entitled "Heading West." On page 32 of that article, Al shows a picture of the 1873-CC Without Arrows dime and states..."of which only 2 examples survive." Later in that article on page 32, Al states, "Low mintages, heavy circulation and a few meltings are the factors that have turned CC products such as the 1873-CC Seated Liberty, No Arrows dime (original mintage listed at 12, 400, with all but two presumed melted), the 1876-CC Seated Liberty 20-cent piece.....etc." I presume that the writers in these modern day coin publications are knowledgeable about coins, so why then is this in print? I will offer an apology if it turns out that yes, there indeed is a 2nd 1873-CC Without Arrows dime that somehow survived. Can this be cleared up once and for all?
