Re: Two Comitia Americana medals for Daniel Morgan, one from Paris, the other from Philadelphia
Yes, Morgan was one of the great heroes of the Revolution. His Virginia sharpshooters used asymmetrical warfare and superior weapons to defeat a greater British force at Saratoga (1777). This halted the British effort to divide the Northern and Southern colonies by controlling the Hudson River. Fortunately, there are nice… -
Do we worry too much about price?
One of the fortunate things about being a banker for over thirty years is the opportunity to meet and help people from all walks life. For a short time I left the profession to make a fotune in private business. The money was good but I missed that feeling of going home every night knowing that I had helped someone either… -

Re: Great boxing photos
Sadly there's no footage of Joe Lynch, and when that happens all we have to go by are newspaper accounts from members of the press that attended the fights. This is a written account by the New York Times of the fight when Joe Lynch beat Pete "Kid" Herman for the bantamweight crown in 1920. It should be noted that like… -
Re: OT - Being a braves fan...
All teams go through cycles, the Braves had a great run, but now baseball is dominated by the big spending teams. You can always become an A's fan, god knows we can use all we can get. Here's what you can expect...don't get attached to any players. Anytime a player gets good, he gets traded for prospects. Billy Bean calls… -
Does anyone collect Southern Sung coinage?
I just got nine Southern Sung coins in the mail and went to work attributing them. These are great fun (for me at least). What I found the most interesting is that many of them are dated, not just by reign period but by year. I am accustomed to thinking of most Chinese "cash" coins in terms of reign periods rather than by…
