I’d be utterly amazed if there IS as much evidence at hand as one might wish there were. It seems likely that reasonable inferences can be made NEARLY AS MUCH by the absence of evidence, speaking to motives of those who might have, and probably should have, provided lavish documentation. And yes, I mean that EVEN by the contemporary standards of 1964 federal government service. I MAY BE biased, given my STATE government experience being employed by “the other side of the aisle”. That gang never ceases to amaze me with their chronic self-aggrandizement and self-dealing.

There is a significant amount of evidence, including several official mint documents. People have just been looking in the wrong places all this time. 

I want to leave a lot of discussion for when the article is actually published, when all the research is finally out there. Even with the research, it would be easy to argue either way. There's just better evidence one way rather than the other.

Very exciting. I read every issue of The Numismatist from cover to cover, and I look forward to your article. It should arrive in my mail just before I head out to the Greenville, SC show where I’m taking Brian Silliman’s ANA course on counterfeits especially the new Chinese ones. I just registered today.
