F.C.C. BOYD

  Darryl Atchison writes; "Can any of our readers tell me what
  the second C. in the name F.C.C. Boyd stands for?   According
  to publications by Pete Smith and Dave Bowers, the first C.
  stands for Cosgrove but there is no mention of the second C.'s
  meaning.  Perhaps it didn't stand for anything."

  [Boyd was a famous American collector who cataloged the
  1922 New York American Numismatic Association auction.
  He was also well known as a collector of U.S. Fractional
  Currency, and when an organization of collectors formed, they
  took Boyd's initials - FCCB now also stands for the Fractional
  Currency Collector's Board.  I've been a member for longer
  than I can remember.  The group has a web site at this
  address:  http://www.fractionalcurrency.org/. Unfortunately,
  the site does not seem to even mention Boyd.  -Editor]
