Yo, 

Get your tickets now, only 298 day till MPC Fest II!

I only made chat for a few minutes last night, sorry.
I expect to be there tonight, but possibly a little
late. Will be at the Central States Numismatic Society
Convention in Minneapolis over the weekend so I am not
sure that I will get grams out each day. We might try
some of the alternative plans that we have been
cooking up.

I will have a new exhibit of error MPC there (at the
show). It is not a super exhibit, but it has some good
material.

In preparing this exhibit, I have been thinking about
errors. Specifically, I have been thinking about the
Series 541 replacements with high numbers. We have a
little bit of new information on these, but nothing
spectacular. The new thinking that I have is that it
is not unreasonable to consider these high-number
replacements to be errors. Of course it is possible
that they are errors of a traditional nature, that is
malfunction of the numbering machines, but that is
unlikely.
I belive that the Tudor Press guys lost track of the
replacement numbers prevously printed and issued when
they needed to print some more. So in order to avoid
any possiblity of duplicating an issued replacement
number, they created these high number. If that is
correct, these may not be errors, but they are the
result of errors by the workers. And of course error
replacements are extremely desirable, so it makes them
even more interesting. I will appreciate your thoughts
on this.

You should have received an email from Doug Bell about
the MPC Fest I shirts. As usual, Doug has done a great
job. If you want any of these shirts, be sure to
contact Doug soon, because they will be much cheaper
if ordered in the next few weeks! Thanks, Doug.

Well, I am out of time, but still lots to report. I
hope to see you at chat tonight.

Fred
