Longacre, did you loan this gold coin (1844-O Proof Eagle) to the New Orleans Mint?

    denga,

    Excellent points!

    Unfortunately, I neglected to read Bonzano's letter when I was reviewing the 1887 report a few days ago, but, then, I was looking for other information.

    I guess we're back where we started - maybe it is a proof. image

    I am more and more impressed with DaveG's research and sound methods. He is an excellent member of the numismatic research community.

    Longacre,

    Really, you don't have to butter me up - I'll be happy to autograph DW's Charlotte book and his New Orleans book anytime you want. image


    (and, anyway, it's Denga you should be applauding, not me.)

    Actually, I think we broke even on this one. I had forgotten about the 1868 letters until
    you mentioned them. And there are no doubt additional letters waiting to be found.
