Re: a confession...
Over all you did very well, even if you had to 'cheat' on a couple! You said you used google as resource, imagine not even having a computer! Most of my collection came from a time where there was no google or email. In a small town you were lucky if the library had ONE book on currency and to ask a fellow collector took a week or so through snail mail (and often he didn't know). In the early days I had a couple of notes on the UNKNOWN list for YEARS. OHHHH ain't the internet wonderful!
