Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Top right is the nun who taught my 7th grade history class - good likeness of her and her personality. Coincidentally, her given name was "Lucania," but I don't know if she was born in Thurium [ΘOYPIΩN].....
PS: The steel ruler is missing but the helmets us kids wore is on the ground under "Sister Stinger."
Wayne Gretzky
James Earle Jones
Penny Marshall
Nicole Kidman

Perhaps I missed it, but has there ever been any real proof that JQA collected coins?
Was King Artabanus II (lower right, Parthia) a coin collector, too?
Thomas Jefferson to the left of Penny Marshall (Boy, does that sound funny to say!).
Where’s Gronkowski?
Tony Blair is the only one not noted above.
I had a dream once that Nicole Kidman gave me a little leather bag full of 2 1/2 and 5 dollar 1911d Indians
I had to earn it though

I recognize Buddy Ebsen, mainly because I met him a couple of times... Cheers, RickO
The guy at the bottom is Enrico Caruso, I think.

The Adams papers and numismatic collection were given to the Massachusetts Historical Society in the 19th century. The coins later went to the ANS for cataloging. There were two sales decades ago. I talked to John Kraljevich (in 2012?) about presidents who were coin collectors and what they collected. He did not question the JQA provenance.

@Sonorandesertrat Well, if John K. vouches for it (or affirms it) then that means a lot.
The Adamses went on for generations and the later ones had more time (and perhaps money) for learning and leisure than the two Presidents, who were mostly very busy men. IIRC, JQA collapsed on the floor of the House of Representatives and was then taken to another room where he died.
I had wondered whether or not the link to JQA was simply a dealer's/auctioneer's embellishment.
Did you have to bark too?
