I should have recalled Laura Fraser. I have admired her work for a long time.
The transition pattern half dimes and half dimes of 1959-60. The Pan-Pac octagonal and round $50 gold coins. I think that Thomas Sully made...
Actually, it's a tie. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

A couple of months ago, I acquired an example of the 1801 Thomas Jefferson Inaugural medal in silver. It’s not perfect, but after kicking myself...
