On a lighter note 50 years ago Secretariat won the Belmont Stakes by 31 lengths in record setting time that will never be broken.
And I was there in person, as a young 22 year old with the dad of my late wife. What excitement!
For those that know racing, two years later, I was also at the famous match race (only two horses racing) with the most famous filly of all time, Ruffian! I strongly recommend the 2007 movie “Ruffian”, a phenomenal movie!!!!

A day without fine wine and working on your coin collection is like a day without sunshine!!!
Philipp, King of Spain and Mary, queen of England, Sixpence 1654
It looks like 1554. Very cool coin.

From the famous Boston die sinker of the Civil War, Joseph H Merriam. This counterstamped 1853 Seated Liberty Quarter is presumed unique:
Merriam's shop was only at this address from 1854-1855.

Thanks. Went to college in Boston and fell in love with the place. Also fell in love with the work of Joseph H Merriam from Boston. If you haven't heard of his work, you should check it out sometime. I'm hoping I can get my book cataloging all of his work done soon.
