NOTES FROM E-SYLUM READERS: NOVEMBER 25, 2012 Comments on American Numismatic Biographies What another monumental publication! Pete deserves our admiration and respect for keeping this updated. To read the earlier E-Sylum article, see: SMITH'S AMERICAN NUMISMATIC BIOGRAPHIES UPDATED (www.coinbooks.org/esylum_v15n48a04.html) Contact for Frank Draskovic and SOCALOMS All we ask is that a guest contact us first so we know who's walking in the door and they can do that by emailing me at fdraskovic@hotmail.com To read the earlier E-Sylum article, see: THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ORDERS & MEDALS SOCIETY (www.coinbooks.org/esylum_v15n48a09.html) The Gold Erie Canal Medal The gold Erie Canal medal that was knocked down for $156,000 has attracted comments like: "The buyer needs a saliva test". Perhaps so, but perhaps not. In the 1925 sale of the fabled W.W.C. Wilson collection, a gold Erie Canal fetched $460 whereas a 1766 Happy While United medal was knocked down for $360 and a Washington oval peace medal for $210. If offered today, either one of these classics would bring more than $156,000.
