Dan, I think everyone who is a serious collector loves to read ANYTHING
about colonials, especially in a medium like Coin World which can devote
pages to the fascinating history of the Susan B. Anthony Dollar and note the
Perkins sale of Connecticut coppers in a paragraph. Hmmm, which one is
worthy of the coverage?
I for one have always enjoyed your column, even if the information is more of
a review than groundbreaking news -- you have a limited amount of space, and
need to produce something that is interesting for all levels of collector.
If you devoted 10 columns to deviations of weights for Hibernia halfpennies,
I suspect your audience WOULD be bored silly. But when you get to write in a
high-profile publication, general information is pretty much the best thing
there is to give -- and I'm sure a number of new collectors have entered the
hobby through the opening provided by your column.
Now, as for topics -- how about doing something on the only colonial series I
can really collect, the French Colonies pieces???? - 2000-10-16
