NOTES FROM E-SYLUM READERS: FEBRUARY 10, 2013

More on the 'First' 1794 Dollar
Regarding the recently sold 1794 dollar, Bill Eckberg writes:

I absolutely agree with Dick Doty on this coin. Ever since I first heard years ago that it "was", which they later hedged to "might have been" the first US dollar struck, the fact that it has adjustment marks has always meant to me that this coin could not have meant anything special to the US Mint at the time. If there was any hoopla at the time of striking - and I am not aware of any evidence that there was - they would surely have selected a better planchet for the BIG EVENT.

More on the Travels of the Liberty Bell
Russ Sears writes:

I would like to share the attached about the travels of the Liberty Bell. The reverse of the souvenir card indicates quite a bit of traveling by the bell. The pinbacks were souvenirs of visitors at the St. Louis World's Fair of 1904 and the Panama-Pacific International Exhibition of 1915 in San Francisco.
