In the text, the baseline of re in receive is far below the baseline of the preceding to. The baseline of th in thereof is much below the baseline of ue in Value. The baseline of thereof slants upward to the right. The top of the second long s in passed is higher than the top of the first long s.

    On the back: Same as Newman 1.1 previous except that the nature print background has been muddled to mostly eliminate the crude cross-hatching.

    Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
    A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
