More trivia --
A few months prior to donating his Connecticut collection to CNLF, Ned=20
Barnsley had placed his two coin caabinets in the trunk of his car. A=20
sudden stop caused one cabinet to fall over.
When he later open that cabinet he discovered that the coins within=20
each tray had moved around the partitions in the trays and were nicely=20
mixed up! This was a total of about 600 specimens of the total=20
collection. He straighted them out as best he could (by memory) into=20
their individuasl compartments but was uncertain whether he had gotten=20
them all properly sorted out. He cautioned me about this at the time=20=20
that he donated the two cabinets!!!

Is there a real hazard of dropping a coin or tray of coins today ?=20=20
People were klutzes years ago, and still are.
=20
And as for "known reports"....If a collector happened to drop a tray of=20
coins while he was looking at them, on what basis do you think he would=20
document and
make that fact known?=20=20
=20
They had to hand-write EACH letter and mail it off....and it could take=20
weeks before it reached parts of the country. And who would care=20
anyway? Remember, we
have the internet ....if I drop a coin, I can let thousands of people=20
know about it within seconds...but why I would want to?
=20
I think several people on this list are falling into a trap of=20
demanding written, concrete documentation of everything that happened=20
one or two hundred years ago
before they will accept it. For the most part IT DOESN'T EXIST.
=20
Remember....99.999% of the information we have on many of the series we=20
all collect has been developed from studying what little information IS=20
availavle, logic,
theory, conjecture, and trial and error.=20=20
=20
Was there a real hazard in the 19th century of coin tray=20
dropping and are there known reports back then about that?=20
