Most folks nowadays are likely better informed about money than they were 137 years ago. How many folks, nowadays, can adequately describe any circulating coin? I continue to encounter folks under forty who fail to even recognize a half dollar!

I freely admit that I can't tell you what the reverse design is on my home State Quarter. That said, I can tell you who and what's portrayed on Fuld dies 127/248 among the patriotic Civil War token series; and, many other dies, to boot! Commonplace things, everyday matters, are less likely to capture our serious attention.

It's funny how these tall tales of early Americans grow and change over time. I'm going to sit John Tatum up on the shelf next to Paul Bunyan & John Henry.
