    Louis Dearborn L'Amour March 22, 1908 – June 10, 1988 was an American novelist and short story writer. His books consisted primarily of Western novels however, he also wrote historical fiction (The Walking Drum), science fiction (The Haunted Mesa), non-fiction (Frontier), as well as poetry and short-story collections.
    Many of his stories were made into films. L'Amour's books remain popular and most have gone through multiple printings.

    At the time of his death almost all of his 105 existing works
    89 novels
    14 short-story collections
    and two full-length works of nonfiction ~ were still in print.
    He was "one of the world's most popular writers".

    Under the pseudonym "Tex Burns". Louis L'Amour was commissioned to write four Hopalong Cassidy books in the spring and summer of 1950 by Doubleday's Double D Western imprint.
    They were the first novels he ever had published and he denied writing them until the day he died, refusing to sign any of them that fans would occasionally bring to his autograph sessions.
    His reason to his young son for doing this was,
    "I wrote some books. I just did it for the money, and my name didn't go on them. So now, when people ask me if they were mine, I say no."
    When his son asked if this was not lying he said,
    "I just wrote them for hire. They weren't my books."

    Here's my latest, cost about $100 delivered - 1953 Elizabeth II Silver Coronation Medal, 51mm, Eimer 2084b; BHM 4445. I think it was @PamR who introduced me to the coronation medals, they are pretty neat.

    I collect memorabilia, including tokens, medals etc from the Hudson-Fulton Celebration. I already had an elongated cent, although a different variety, but when I saw this I had to get it. I never knew they graded elongated coins. Honestly, I never saw the need.

    This is a commemorative piece made for the completion of construction on Korea's Gyeongsan Mint in 1975. This facility replaced the Dongnae Mint (coining plant, 1966-1975) that same year.

    I'm crazy about Bank of Korea and Korean Mint commemorative pieces, especially these rare, old ones.

    Oh, and it's a coin bank...
