Newman Portal Adds Half Crazy
The latest issue of Half Crazy, the newsletter of the Seated Half Society, is now available on NNP. The Seated Half Society is an honorary group whose membership is open to those owning significant collections of Liberty Seated half dollars, similar to the Bust Half Nut Club. This issue reports a newly discovered 1878-S half dollar, the 55th example now listed in the Bill Bugert census. Bugert further calls for census information on the 1849 WB-6 Dramatically Doubled Date and 1873 No Arrows Open 3 half dollar varieties. This issue also includes coverage of the 1877/6 and 1842 Small Date, Small Letters varieties. Half Crazy is edited by Dennis Fortier, for more information on this group he may be contacted at ricajun@msn.com.
