I want to welcome all of you that are making the journey to the other side of the fence. (You know that old saying about the grass on this side) [:0]

I was always told "the grass may appear greener on the other side but it is just as hard to mow"! So far I like what we have started here! Just hope we don't have to do to much weeding!!! Keep it civil and remember we are all "nuts" together!

Maybe a before and after coin. Before being burnt on the stake on the obverse, and on the stake on the reverse.

I thought you were considering a coin with Lizzie Borden on one side and Joan of Arc on the reverse. It did make for an interesting image. Or we could have the Lizzie Borden coin with the axe on the reverse and the Joan of Arc coin with the stake on the reverse and start a really interesting series.  |

I would like to Alice Chambers on a coin! Anyone have a clue who she was? This ought to be good as she holds a very very unique distinction here in the U.S.! Care to make a guess?

I think Sojourner Truth would make a nice coin, personally.
Alice Chambers, eh? Not sure who that is, and I'm feeling to lazy to Google it! ;)

All I can seem to find on Alice Chambers is that she was heavily into conservation and environmental issues. I saw that there is a library dedicated to her in Manitoba. Is this the woman that you are referring to? |

No, not that one! This one is ALL American and had quite a colorful history with a dramatic ending. I will give you another day or two on this one!

Alice Mary ('May') Chambers was a painter and draughtswoman. She may have been the niece of Charles Augustus Howell, an entrepreneur who helped Whistler to sell his works and himself owned a significant number of the artist's paintings.  |
