<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 3525458, member: 1765&quot;]And I hadn&#039;t even noticed the &quot;Hoffecker Collection&quot; bit when I said that.&nbsp; It&#039;s clearly the &quot;if at first you don&#039;t succeed&quot; failure that led to the Spanish Trail commem.&nbsp; Wikipedia says this on the Spanish Trail page: &quot;In 1929, [Hoffecker] organized the Gadsden Purchase Commission (consisting mostly of himself) to seek a commemorative coin issue for the 75th anniversary of the Gadsden Purchase.&quot;&nbsp; I assume that the comment of the commission consisting &quot;mostly&quot; of Hoffecker meant that he had most of the power rather than he made up most of the people on the commission, as the latter would imply that there was at least one fractional person on the commission.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
