    I was recently given a large lot of old magazines and found this ad of interest to coin collectors. The caption is "Director of the First US Mint Inspecting Initial Coinage, Philadelphia, 1792."

    I expect that David Rittenhouse is either saying, "I see a bright future for us, gentlemen." or "Hey, you spelled 'dime' with an S."
