MORE ON HAROLD M. HESS

Regarding Mike Greenspan's query about dealer Harold M.
Hess, Pete Smith writes: "I wrote a series of articles
for Penny-Wise on people important to our hobby. The
January 15, 1991, issue had this on Harold Hess: 'Dealer
in choice early copper around 1982 to 1984. Stopped dealing
abruptly in 1984 because of personal problems.' "

Craig McDonald writes: "I too remember Harold's catalogs.
At one time I had a full run, but sold them several years
ago when by necessity, I had to thin out my holdings of
publications.  I only bought one coin from him that I
remember, my Ryder 16 Vermont.  His catalogs were printed
on stock with backgrounds that depicted early 20th century
newspaper ads, if I recall correctly.  I also seem to recall
that his last catalog simply stated that for "serious personal
reasons" (possible paraphrase) it would be his final catalog."
