One of my Mines, also served as a prison. 2) My Alma Mata motto was "In Deo Speranus" .

They have listed five of my specimens. 4) I was sent, to my place of business a mailing of twenty five catalogues, which was unsolicited. I promptly returned them with a request to the sender to reimburse me the fifty cents it cost me for the return postage. The sender neither did so and went on to publicly ridicule me. I am recognized as one of America's first Rare Coin Dealers. 5) At the age of 13 years, I was employed as a school teacher. I later went on to become a historic figure in the field of Numismatics, as well as having a College named after me. 6) I am the only Founding Member of The American Numismatic Society who actively participated until my death in 1905 . 7) I was convicted and served a prison term for molestation. 8) I was a watchmaker located at 83 Bleeker st, New York.
