F.C.C. BOYD
Darryl Atchison writes; "Can any of our readers tell me what
the second C. in the name F.C.C. Boyd stands for? According
to publications by Pete Smith and Dave Bowers, the first C.
stands for Cosgrove but there is no mention of the second C.'s
meaning. Perhaps it didn't stand for anything."[Boyd was a famous American collector who cataloged the
1922 New York American Numismatic Association auction.
He was also well known as a collector of U.S. Fractional
Currency, and when an organization of collectors formed, they
took Boyd's initials - FCCB now also stands for the Fractional
Currency Collector's Board. I've been a member for longer
than I can remember. The group has a web site at this
address: http://www.fractionalcurrency.org/. Unfortunately,
the site does not seem to even mention Boyd. -Editor]- 2003-05-18
