Dear Harry:
Your very interesting problem as to the development of the Seated Liberty
design should be sent to the Liberty Seated Collectors Club:
John McCloskey, President LSCC
5718 King Arthur Dr.
Kettering, OH 45429
These are people who specialize in Seated design coins and would be
a marvelous project for them.
Thank you for your stimulating inquiry.
Sincerely,
Eric P. Newman

Dear Club Member,
The new Collective Volume Number Three of the journal has been printed and the books
taken to the bindery. At the present time we expect that the books will be ready for
distribution to club members some time during June 1991. The new collective volume
contains the articles that were published in Issues #34 to #48 of the journal ordered
by denomination and date. The new volume was created from a 488 Dage manuscript and
contains many important articles on Liberty Seated coinage. The book contains articles
on numismatic history, on the die characteristics of many rare dates, on studies of
rarity for particular dates in the series and on the identification of many die
varieties. Of particular interest would be the results of club surveys of tne
different denominations listing the number and grade of each date in the series owned
by club members. The new Third Collective Volume is being made available to club
members at the prepublication price of $30 per copy until June 1, 1991. The price of
the new books will be increased $5 once they are available for general distribution.
Copies of the first two collective volumes are available for immediate delivery at the
established price of $29 per copy.
The deadline for the submission of articles for Issue #51 of the Gobrecht Journal
has been set for May 17, 1991 with publication expected by early July. Articles of
a technical or observational nature are welcome. If you do not have the time or the
inclination to write an article you may wish to send a few comments for the "Letters
to the Editor" column. The deadline for ads for Issue #51 of the journal has been set
for May 24, 1991. Ads can be purchased at the established rate of $20 per page,
$10 per half page and $5 per quarter page. Please remember that only coins of the
Liberty Seated type may be offered for sale or trade in the journal.
The Annual Meeting of LSCC will be held at the ANA convention in Chicago, Illinois
this summer. This meeting has been tenatively scheduled for 10:00 AM on Thursday
August 15, 1991. Further details on the meeting will be given in the next issue
of the journal.

Dear Harrv:
Ken Bressett wrote to Valter Breen and received a replv. I will now write him.
Valter has lost about one-third of his former weight.
As to the December 26, 1991 letter to George (which I Just read after
returning form Jamaica) I feel It la best to do nothing at this time as the ANA
Hall of Fame Is an ANA matter. Some of the ANA board and some ANA members would
be upset and others feel It would be great If Valter were elected. I would suggest
not pushing for a vote until the charges are resolved by a recognition of his
deviation as an Illness.
I respect Valter's accomplishments lust as you do and feel that we would do
him a service If we used proper timing and could obtain almost unanlmltv for his
selection.
Your Idea Is courageous and exeeplarv.
My best.
Eric P. Newman
