Looking at one last document for the day, I came across this treat (not being facetious, though my wife might be, if she had said this). The document is a letter from HR Linderman to Congressman William J. O'Brien and is attached.

Not sure which is more impressive - the coins, or the penmanship!
The coins are beautiful, the letter is well written and clearly explains the delay. Nice. Peace Roy

Both are excellent to see 🙂
I really enjoy seeing these old documents.... For the information, the penmanship and the communication style. Truly a window into a different time and culture. Thank you for the pictures. Cheers, RickO
Very cool!
Every time I see reference to these, I start wondering what exactly Snowden and Woodin traded to get these back, and without that trade, how many patterns might not be in collectors hands today.
