Charbneau Dollars
Quote from Jeff Shevlin on March 6, 2011, 11:19 pmI am working on a book on Charbneau Dollars. Bill Hyder and I will be co-authoring it and it should be offered for sale at the ANA in Chicago in August. I have identified 13 different varities. The table below lists each of the 13 different varities. If you have one, please let me know which you you have. I need to find a J12 so I can take a high quality photo.

Quote from bill on March 13, 2011, 2:25 pmJust one correction to Jeff's note here. J5 is actually the 1939 1 D, 10 K with the 40 counter stamp on the reverse. The typo was mine on the photo check list I sent him. If anyone has a different variety with the 40 counter stamp, we definitely want to know.
