He made some interesting/neat things.

I have a couple "studio proofs" and a doubloon or two somewhere.
I need to get all those things together and photograph them some time.

Henry Alvin Sharpe did a lot of great work and have some of it.

I like his Silent Pardners pieces and have a few.

My favorite piece is an original die of his.

I lived in NOLA July 1969 through about October 1971 (gained 30 pounds) and had several H.A.S. pieces. Sadly they have all been sold.

There was a small book written on Sharpe medals in the late 60’s or early 70’s by Jay Guren of Coin World. You might try to find a copy for your collection.
