ADDENDA TO AMATO'S 1802 HALF DIMES BOOK

Researcher Pete Smith has issued a valuable addenda to last year's book by the late Jon Amato on 1802 dimes, one of the rarest of U.S. coins. -Editor

1802 Half Dimes book Jon P. Amato wrote Numismatic Background and Census of 1802 Half Dimes, published by Heritage in 2017. On the final page, Amato offered an “Invitation for Reader Response.” Unfortunately, Amato died shortly after the book was published and before he could react to any reader response.

Pete Smith has written an Addenda to the Amato book. This includes some additional pedigree information and certification numbers. While the original book was 64 pages, the Addenda is 24 pages.

Amato listed 32 known surviving examples of the 1802 half dime. Smith identifies three that he believes are duplicate listings. He also includes images of seven addition pieces that may not be listed in the Amato book.

The Addenda may be found on the Heritage website. Author Smith will appreciate additions and comments.
