<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1410623, member: 15309&quot;]After reading two articles on the subject, it appears that the Brown family moved from Iowa to Red Bluff, CA in the year 1864.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.saratogahistory.com/History/sarah_brown.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.saratogahistory.com/History/sarah_brown.htm" rel="nofollow">Sarah Brown, Artist and Abolitionist--Saratoga Historical Foundation</a></p><p><br /></p><p>In 1881, they moved to Saratoga, CA.&nbsp; According to the Numismatist article:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://onlinedigitalpublishing.com/article/SARAH+BROWN,+MINT+ADJUSTER/1005819/0/article.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://onlinedigitalpublishing.com/article/SARAH+BROWN,+MINT+ADJUSTER/1005819/0/article.html" rel="nofollow">Sarah Brown, Mint Adjuster--The Numismatist-April 2012</a></p><p><br /></p><p>From this we can conclude that her employment at the mint was between 1881-1885.&nbsp; After all, if she returned to Saratoga, they would have to have lived there in the first place.&nbsp; However, this all appears academic because even though they were still manually adjusting coins with a file in the 1880&#039;s, the article clearly details that they filed the edges not the face of the coin.&nbsp; But that doesn&#039;t mean that they followed that same practice in Copenhagen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
