KOULZ'S ALLOY CORRECTIONS

  David Cassel writes: "Your teaser was quite fine with
  the exception of two glaring errors:

  In the title, "KOULTZ' ALLOY UNMASKED?", you
  misspelled  KOULZ'S ALLOY.  There is no "T" and
  an apostrophe S would be accurate.

  You also wrote: "A German chemist named Koulz was
  said to be the inspiration  for both the reverse design...
  pieces. "   This is only one of two designs.  You missed
  the most important design which included SIL(ver) NIC(kel)
  COP(per);

  Here is the quote that you should have used:  'SIL.9' over
  'NIC.1' above a line which is over the date '1869' and
  second reverse design elements, 'SIL.' over 'NIC.' over
  'COP.' above a line which is over the slightly curved date
  '1869.' "

  [My apologies for the mistakes.   Some things are safe to
  do at midnight, but editing a newsletter isn't one of them.
  In my zeal to condense David's summary, I snipped a
  little too much.  -Editor]
