Lewis and Clark - Coinage and Currency Set

Hello everyone,

My wife and I are heading to a 1 week getaway to Puerto Rico tonight

I probably won't be posting much for the next 8 days since I will be away.
And no beach metal detecting this time around

Today I present you with this recently acquired neat item..

Cool set, I love the history.

Safe travels to you and the Mrs. Edwin!

 

You are? That's really neat!

 

Have fun this time. I think I'll miss your satire personality most.
Too bad about not detecting but there's always the Big hunt down south, correct?
Bring back something nice also.
Congrat's on the coin and currency set!

 

Have a safe trip and get lots of work done on Casa Padilla.

 

Hope you have fun. Will you be working on the new house?

 

Life's a beach, without a detector it's a bi, oops, my wife caught me, bye!

 

Basking in the sun, enjoying family, great food, no detector, fall asleep. It's a great life, be safe have fun. We all can wait 8 measly days

 

I'm an avid fan of Lewis and Clark and the Corp of Discovery. I do have the commem's in my collection, purchased at the time of issue and when the mint was reasonable with their price assessment's, but I never obtained the coin and chronicle's set for this offering. I contemplated buying it but I tarried too long and the offering became unavailable. Se la Vie. For those who wish to learn more about the Lewis and Clark journeys I recommend two works of fiction which are most entertaining and (for the most part) historically correct. From Sea to Shinning Sea, By James Alexander Thom and The Captains Dog by Roland Smith. Both good reads, to be sure.

Safe trip to La Isla de Encanta Mr. Ed. We'll keep the lights on here till you get back....

 

An most excellent volume.

 

I wish I had college professors like him.

 

Very cool piece. These and the coin and pouch set my dad and me scored several of each at release time - then sold them for a profit.

 

Don't forget John McPhee.

 

David McCullough is probably the best of all of them. He wrote a well received biography of your relative John Adams.
