From a Summer 2001 Asylum article by Ken Bressett:

Diagnostics for telling the versions apart are described later on in Ken's article and in more detail in my subsequent article in the same Summer 2001 Asylum issue.

Which brings us to the present. Recently E-Sylum reader Kellen Hoard independently began a census of the known copies, reaching out to me, Joel Orosz and Len Augsburger as a start. Kellen and Joel compiled an initial list and contacted Ken Bressett, who writes:

I own one of them, having acquired it in a numismatic literature sale prior to 2001. This week I reached out to several of today's Usual Suspects to confirm their holdings.Here are the positive replies.

Joel Orosz adds:

So here's Kellen's list to date:

Please send me any additions, corrections or updates and I'll forward them to Kellen. I checked with Dave Hirt and John W. Adams, but they don't have one. Charlie Davis doesn't have one either, but noted that there were a couple in his earlier sales. If anyone can locate offerings of these in numismatic literature sales, it would help eliminate duplicates and clarify pedigree chains.

So, who were owners of genuine 1804 dollars in 1962? As Ken noted, some of them were recipients of these books at the time. Perhaps some of the copies appearing later in the marketplace can be traced back to them.Great topic, everyone.
