I think the Henry Miller of Connecticut coppers
fame was a bit heavier than your latter date "author".
In the Jan/Feb 1935 issues of Hobbies Magazine
Thomas Elder described our Mr. Miller as:
"*His fat and rotund figure suggested an amicable judge,*
* rather than the coin collector as usually pictured."*
**
-and-
**
*"**Just prior to his death in 1920, he told his sister, *
*Miss Emma Miller, to take his collection to me in *
*case anything befell him. Miss Miller informed me *
*that he had a predilection for candy, which contributed *
*to his end."*
**
One now wonders what Edler's "usually pictured" coin
collector actually looks like .... Walter Breen ?
