<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 2653661, member: 1765&quot;]I would argue the birth of American numismatics was when the first American started studying coinage, which could have been before the revolution.&nbsp; The birth of U.S. numismatics would have been after.&nbsp; The birth of numismatics as related to coins of the U.S. could have been with the first study or collection of Fugio cents, had someone done so before 1792.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nevertheless, nice post!&nbsp; I love the Wright quarter pattern.&nbsp; He was far ahead of the engravers that would replace him. Birch&#039;s rendition of Liberty looks a bit like King William III.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
