DrDarryl Valued Member United States 434 Posts	Posted 07/14/2018 09:56 am I'm sharing an American Numismatic Association blog write-up that I just drafted that should provide insight that Dwight D. Eisenhower was a numismatist at heart and that he donated his coin collection to the Smithsonian Institution in 1958 (while still actively serving his second term as the 34th President of the United States). Also, while serving as the 34th President of the United States he used his numismatic mindset to create a series of fourteen appreciation medal types. https://www.money.org/collector/drd...-numismatist The write-up can be also read : By pasting this link in your browser https://storage.googleapis.com/wzuk...st-Gomez.pdf or visiting my POTUS sGm website (towards the bottom of the webpage) http://www.potus-sgm.com/ This photograph was taken at the Smithsonian American History Museum (officially called the National Museum of American History).

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 07/14/2018 1:25 pm Nice read at the link - thanks. It took me awhile to understand your wording though of "President Eisenhower's coin collection donation contained one-hundred eight-nine pieces. " I finally concluded you meant the 1968-69 coins mentioned in the letter from the museum? @conder - when you take the link and read the whole thing, it mentions he did have a lot more than the 12 shown.

You have to read the PDF... Quote: "President Eisenhower's coin collection donation contained one-hundred eight-nine pieces" (I assume this to be 189).

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/17/2018 7:37 pm I've read the links and still see nothing to indicate a "numismatist at heart". Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 07/18/2018 11:36 am I suppose it is a matter of opinion then. I freely admit bias in accepting the statement as true.
