Today's note is a minor update. I usually go to the coin shop every 2 weeks and shoot the breeze with the owners, but since I am there I pick up a silver bullion coin to add to my stash :)
I was there this week and he offered me a fractional at a really good price. Since my Dexter had pinholes that were not disclosed I decided to pick this up instead of a bullion coin.
Today's note is the 4th issue 50 cents of Samuel Dexter. This is FR1379.
Samuel Dexter (May 14, 1761 - May 4, 1816) was an early American statesman who served both in Congress and in the Presidential Cabinets of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.
A native of Boston, Massachusetts, Dexter was an 1881 graduate of Harvard College. After receiving his degree he studied law, attained admission to the bar in 1784, and began to practice in Lunenburg, Massachusetts.
A Federalist, Dexter served in the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1788 to 1790. In 1792 he was elected to the United States House of Representatives, and he served in the 3rd United States Congress. The state legislature subsequently elected Dexter to the United States Senate, and he served from March 1799 to May 1800. Dexter resigned his senate seat to accept appointment as United States Secretary of War, and he served from 1800 to 1801. In January 1801, Dexter was appointed United States Secretary of the Treasury, and he served until resigning in May.
After leaving office, Dexter practiced law in Washington, D.C. until he returned to Boston in 1805. Dexter joined the Democratic-Republican Party because of its support for the War of 1812, and he was a candidate for governor in 1814 and 1815. In 1815, Dexter declined President James Madison's appointment as Minister to Spain. He was a candidate for governor again in 1816, but died on May 4, 1816, while visiting his son in Athens, New York
