Hi Guys,
I was just thinking about a collection that I saw some years ago.
I was asked by David Alexander to give a presentation to the New York
Numismatic Club, to which I agreed. I talked about colonial coins. Had
I known ahead of time that the membership were mostly die hard
numismatists (unlike the usual coin club) I would have talked about a
more specific topic in greater detail. But in any case, they always
have a show n tell. One of their members brought in a tray of colonial
coppers. Nothing rare and nothing high grade, BUT... These coins were
passed down through his family from colonial times! Not a one of the
coins was ever in the hands of a coin dealer. Now that's a family
heirloom to pass from one generation to another! He had about 15
coppers. The only die variety I remember was a 34-J NJ Copper. I wish
I knew his name. I've asked around in the mean time and no one remembers
who he was. Too bad.
Ray
Has anyone else run across a colonial collection (accumulation) they
found interesting? - 2014-03-13
