The E-Sylum: Volume 02, Number 24, June 13, 1999, Article 3POSTAGE CURRENCY PATTERN RESEARCHAn article in the June 14th, 1999 issue of Coin World described David Cassel's research into U.S. Postage Currency patterns. He sought the owner of the piece listed in the Judd pattern book as J-325a. I wrote to Dave offering to publicize his quest in The E-Sylum, and inviting him to subscribe. He responded: "The owner of the J-325a contacted me through the Coin World article just as you did. As happy as I am to have found this unique coin, I am equally happy to have found you and your organization. I am grateful for your offer of assistance. Maybe you would care to ask your members to advise me of their holdings of Postage Currency coins of 1863 and the related dated coins of 1868 and 1869. There are still other coins that have been catalogued that may have been incorrectly attributed. Also, I am trying to provenance as many as I can. …there is a period of time from the [B. Max Mehl] Olsen sale through 1970 that I may be lacking in auction material of the series. (J-325 to J-331 and J-640 to J-646 and J-714 to J-717). " If you have nice runs of 20th century catalogs and are willing to help David out, contact him for a fax list of the catalogs he's already used; you may have some of the ones he's missing.
