@Theleekycauldron: Not sure how to proceed. Trade publications are all there is for RS in relation to coins. Jeff Garrett is considered to be an expert in U.S. coins. The reference is not citing anything contentious. Bruxton (talk) 04:19, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Garrett is a past president of the Professional Numismatists Guild and the American Numismatists Association, and author of the Encyclopedia of United States Gold Coins...but since he specifically submitted the article in question on behalf of the Numismatists Guaranty Corporation, it is better to remove the article as a source from the article. (In the meantime, I have already replaced his article as the source for the non-controversial definition of the term...but that article still needs to be replaced as a source for the Lincoln penny. I am seeing it in various U.S. Coin Encylopedias, etc., but I need to go to work now. Bye.) cc: User:Bruxton Cielquiparle (talk) 04:23, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There are many sources which repeat this but here is CNBC Rarest in the series. Bruxton (talk) 04:50, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
On second thought...reading more about the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation, they are a certification service. Surely that's a few steps above an actual dealer (in terms of reliability as a source). So maybe it's ok to leave Garrett as a source within the article but I'm not sure about some of the other sources. Cielquiparle (talk) 04:54, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your diligence as always @Cielquiparle:. The hook was already sourced to CNBC in the article, and the key date rarity claim is supported by many other references but sadly it was pulled from the prep. My fault for offering the Garrett reference instead of others. The nomination is likely to flounder after being pulled and dealing with it will waste valuable editor time so I will withdraw the nomination. Bruxton (talk) 05:24, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
