"Each piece having to pass through the hands of six persons who examine and weigh the coin carefully"

Say what?

 

Makes one wonder where that coin is now...

 

Nice thread...who knows where that coin is now,,,

 

Makes me wonder why it only took 6 peeps? :mouth:

I too would love to know what happened to it? :thumb: Maybe it's still in the family? Do we have any members who live in that area that can do a little research to see if there are still family members living there?

It shouldn't be hard to track down his descendents. RCHill is a famous figure in Port Townsend history.. His home is a tourist attraction.

A pocket piece. Poor coin... I am glad the coin brought the owner joy though.

 

It's unanimous, you're in charge for finding his descendants and finding out what happened to the coin.

If nominated I will not run. If elected I will not serve.

 

I've seen a few off-center Morgans in person. They're very striking, and, as one would expect, very expensive.

 

Dang! You take all the fun out of picking on you.

F'real!

 

That sure is a beautiful part of the world.

 

LBJ said that before the '68 election. Sherman said it over 100 years before LBJ.

 

You really are full of knowledge.

That would be the Sherman that burned Atlanta. He is still unpopular in Georgia. :eating:

 

That's cause he lived it.
