1910 PATTERN CASE INFO SOUGHT

  Roger W. Burdette writes: "Saul Teichman referred me to you
  on the following subject:  Can anyone tell me anything about a
  legal case involving pattern coins (legality of private ownership?)
  that was being handled in Philadelphia in September 1910?
  I did a search of Lexus/Nexus but their database does not go
  back that far. Probably the Eastern District of Pennsylvania
  (Federal Court) - possibly NNN vs MacVeagh, or NNN vs
  United States.

  I found a reference to it in a letter from A Piatt Andrew (Asst
  Treas Sec) to William Woodin.  (There are also other letters
  with reference to a pending "pattern decision" by Andrew.
  This appears to be part of a larger US Mint issue in 1910
  involving pattern coins and dies.  Thanks!"
