slapsshot Valued Member United States 84 Posts	Posted 11/01/2018 12:10 pm Hello all.... Found a little something that is appropriate for the discussion. I also collect antique American prints related to US History so I'm an ultra nerd. I came across this, which us from the Neueste Münzkunde published 1853, a lithograph of the silver US coins to that period. The coins themselves were used in the actual process which gave the print an embossed image. Check it out... My only regret is I didn't get the print done with the gold coins if the period. It is beautiful. Report this Post to the Staff

Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 11/04/2018 7:24 pm Strange coincidence. I was thinking earlier today of collecting those old bank issued savings booklets. You know? Those from the thirties-forties with slots for dimes. ANA member - PAN Member - BCCS Member There are no problems only solutions - the late, great John Lennon Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11898 Posts	Posted 11/24/2018 1:06 pm This is the first page of the 1848 J. Thompson (a Wall Street Banker) Bank Note Reporter which shows that by 1848, early federally issued gold coins were trading at a premium, current federally issued gold was trading at face value, and the territorial Bechtler North Carolina gold was trading at a discount.

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11898 Posts	Posted 06/14/2019 5:53 pm Haven't updated this thread for a while... In August, 1793, Joseph Wright became the chief coiner and die sinker at the U. S. Mint. Wright designed both the Half Cent and and the third design of the large cent. Above are Sheldon 13 and 18b. It is believed that Wright used his wife, Sarah, as the model for the design. The cap on pole symbolism was used by Joseph Wright on a 1777 drawing of his mother, Patience Lovell-Wright, a free-thinking, pro-independence American woman. Joseph Wright and Sarah Vandervoordt-Wright are portrayed in an unfinished 1793 painting, with their children; Sarah, Joseph and baby Harriet. Joseph, Jr. and Sarah are believed to be twins. Wright's painting was left unfinished when both he and Sarah died from yellow fever during the 1793 summer epidemic. Edited by numismatic student 06/14/2019 5:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
