I beg your pardon Danielle, But if you will read a bit further you will find that the Sommer Island coinage that you give as the correct answer is called "Hogge Money or Hoggies. 2005 Red Book pg 21.

Sure Danielle ! Would you happen to have any other numismatic books that you would be willing to let go of ? I already have the last three NGC census reports and NGC`s Grading Guide. Have anything authored by Q. David Bowers ? Or, how about an earlybird certificate ?

Thanks for double checking ! Integrity is a rarity itself and certainly hard to come by these days. You and NGC are solid as a rock !!!!!!!

Sincerely,
