Ted, I had planned on doing some research and including it in a future article about Coupons, but since you posted this card...
Given that the T206 Demmitt NY came out first, followed by the T206 Demmitt StL, THEN the Coupons came out,
Why are their remnants of 'New York' on the Coupon 'Demmitt StL', which came out after the T206 issue, but not on the T206 'Demmitt StL'? It leads me to believe that the plates for the T206 Demmitt NY were saved, despite the change to StL, and that the artist for the Coupon cards used the NY plates. Kind of senseless, but it appears that's what happened.
Thoughts?
