    And I found in the records that he was a Boston Police Captain with his bio and also Boston's Police Chief. In 1854 The Boston Police Dept was established and Robert Taylor was made chief of the newly established Police Dept.

    That's a very cool piece (and a beautiful coin, as well).

    I made an error and corrected it, Robert Taylor was not a civil war vet, please see my corrected post. My bad.

    Awesome...one thing is for sure...Christmas 1865, so Frank and his pops survived through the war! Damn Cool

    Captain Robert Taylor died on December 14, 1866, and the 19 year old son probably wanted to give his father a very special gift for Xmas. I think you would agree that an older ex Chief of Police (49 when he died) and current Captain isn't going to be enlisting any time soon considering the Police had the heavy responsibility at home with riots and supporting the army and all. And at 19 in 1865 his son was then only 16 when the Civil War broke out and due to the family being one of the more well to do in the City they weren't going to send him to fight which was typical of the wealthier families.
