Maurice D. Scharlack

 

Unfortunately no one has posted the correct answer. Thanks for playing this weeks Numisma-Quest. Dont forget to stop by for this weeks PMG question

In case anyone is wondering, this quote comes from an article titled "Pennies From Heaven," published in the July 1937 issue of The Numismatist, p.645.

 

Scharlack was a tireless promoter of the 1922-D cent and its many varieties. He's the person who popularized No D examples and put this issue on the map.
