First time I’ve seen one of these. From Lonesome John 1972.

I hadn't seen that page in about 40 years. I knew it was out there somewhere, I just couldn't recall who had made it. Thanks!Bob Piazza

I've never seen anyone use that notation. Too bad. I like it.All opinions expressed are not necessarily shared by willbrooks or his affiliates. Taking them may result in serious side effects. Results may vary. Offer not valid in New Jersey.Comment

Interesting, especially when you consider the original owner. I know the name but have no stories to share. Sounds like you guys had lots of interaction with him.
-He was a variety collector, correct?
Anything, in particular, this would have been used for. I notice each coin is broken down into 16 rows and columns.
-Was this a type of "shorthand" for describing locations for markers, anomalies, BIES, etc?
-What else might it have been used for?Comment

I have seen the letter/number system used by folks, K3 and so on, on here and other places, to pinpoint a particular anomaly but had never seen the charts before that plotted them and never bothered to look. I suppose this would have been very handy to refer to a very precise location, long before we had "paint" to just point it out.

That system is for locating something on the periphery of a coin, near the rim. K is a reference to a clock face, if I understood it correctly.I have seen the letter/number system used by folks, K3 and so on, on here and other places, to pinpoint a particular anomaly but had never seen the charts before that plotted them and never bothered to look.

Both systems are/could be helpful in their own right.Comment
