Hi Guys,
Yesterday I was talking to a friend in CA that collects, studies and do=
es research on CT Coppers. He made my day by telling me that by reading an=
annotated "The Coinage of New England" that I own (C4N Vol 19 No. 2 Summer=
'11 page 4), he and another CT collecting friend (from NY) were able to pi=
ece together information about the CT series that might otherwise have been=
lost. How cool is that??? You may wonder why I was associating with CT c=
ollectors, but truth be known... some of my best friends collect CTs! I d=
on't hold that against them. LOL=20=20
But the point I'm making here is that any of you can add to the ground =
work of colonial knowledge we currently have. You don't need to have an ex=
pensive collection or a million dollar library... Your worn VG coin could =
have something that others have been looking for. Your research in the lib=
rary, local, state and federal records, biographies, old newspaper accounts=
.. you could have stumbled across something important and not even know it=
. So write an article, share with friends (numismatic friends) things you =
have learned and research sources. Study the coins you own. Sometimes the=
greatest finds are discovered by what our coins tell us! One friend made =
a great discovery finding a misplaced 6 punched into the plowshare of a Ma=
ris 18. (C4N Vol 6 No.4 Winter '98 page 35) Another friend found that a dr=
aped bust CT die was re-engraved to make the bust into a mailed bust variet=
y. (C4N Vol 15 No. 2 Summer '07 page 4) These are two examples of many dis=
coveries by collectors just like you. Don't assume that something you find=
is of no significance as it could be just what another is looking for. =
=20
So have fun with your hobby - study your coins, read about them, the hi=
story of the period, the people who were involved, that collectors that hav=
e studied them in the past...
But have fun!
Ray

here is that any of you can add to the ground work of colonial knowledge we

others have been looking for. Your research in the library, local,
