Gary,

I have no doubt that our little project will find its way into bound, paper format some day.

Rusty,

Thanks for your thoughtful review of my '78-CC eagle article. There was so darn much to say that I found myself limiting each subject to a few paragraphs, let the article explode in size.

In hindsight, I would like to have spent more time on the reality of how difficult it is to find a worthy '78-CC Eagle to own. I'm not happy with the way I left it. The date is simply a lot harder to acquire than the statistics indicate. Of course, this is true to some extent for nearly every Carson City coin date isn't it?

As a professional dealer specializing in Carson City coins, you may be one of the few people in a possition to recognize the "trifurcation" of the extant population. I would rate my particular example of the '78-CC Eagle past the second quality level, but only in the first 20% of the third level. Would you agree?

Tom,

I'm glad you enjoyed the article. Frankly, your last article gave me the idea for adding photo images of other subjects, not just the particular coin being discussed.

It's great to have this group of knowledgeable CC friends to share information and coin collecting passion.
