<p>[QUOTE=&quot;okbustchaser, post: 3913712, member: 72642&quot;]Although an often repeated story the tale of Josh Tatum and the V nickel simply isn&#039;t true.&nbsp; The Oxford English Dictionary cites examples of <i>josh</i> used in this sense as far back as 1845. One will also sometimes hear it is from the pen-name (“Josh Billings”) of the humorist Henry Wheeler Shaw, but Shaw did not take up writing until 1858, so he cannot be the origin. More likely an association of Biblical names such as Joshua with simple, rustic farm folks underlays both the word and Shaw’s choice of name.</p><p><br /></p><p>You are correct though when you say &quot;Yes, there is plenty of history in coins.&quot; and this is why I collect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
