I agree, a very well written piece:thumb:. Sadly i am not aware of the individual that produced this.
Several articles in that column or series were written by James C. Johnston Jr., see the footer here http://www.journalofantiques.com/June07/coins.html for example. Maybe that applies to this one as well. Interesting article, though a little proofreading regarding the names and titles might have made it even better. Christian
