ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4416 Posts	Posted 12/15/2015 08:21 am Thanks for posting this, Westcoin. It's a most interesting read, attaching history to coins. I'm surprised that the coin assortment lacked a Fugio Cent. Perhaps, the "Mind Your Business" phrase was a turn-off? Report this Post to the Staff

Yes it is, to be able to track down this particular group of coins (which contained the famous 1794 silver dollar that recently sold to Laura Sperber of Legend Coins for $10 million) is amazing, great research to find the entire trail back to when they was made, how they were acquired , and how they came to be in such fantastic condition after 200+ years. I'm really looking forward to getting this book when it's finished and published. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
