Following up your item in the last E-Sylum, I have had this “silver” 2 pence coin since 1977, but I doubt if it worth anything like £1,357. The clue is in the coin’s date 1977, the year Queen Elizabeth II celebrated the silver jubilee of her reign. It is, in fact, silver plated and was given as a gift by a sales rep visiting my father. I have the feeling that I still have the compliments slip somewhere but laying my hands on it might prove difficult!

I remember meeting this Pittsburgh artist when he visited Carnegie-Mellon University in 2003 October. In addition to an autographed copy of his book, I have my own Boggs Bill. After his talk, he offered to sign one of his bills printed from his website which were oversize and orange. I caught him by surprise when I went up with a correct size and color print of one of his older 10$ notes I had found online. He still signed it on the back.

I also found a recently uploaded 60 min Documentary which was probably made in 1992.
