MORE ON HENRY COGSWELL
Michael Wehner writes: "About the E-Sylum article on Henry Cogswell, I only just realized that the medal in my collection of Henry Cogswell depicts the same person as on the checks from the Cogswell Polytechnical College, of which I have a stack of. I thought I had a new discovery, but Loren Gatch posted an article describing these and this eccentric philanthropist on the Society of Paper Money Collectors website just this past May. "I also was unaware of Dave Lange's PCNS article (shame on me) nor his article in The Numismatist. Interestingly, although the date on the medal is 1865, it is not on the list of items in Cogswell's 1879 time capsule."
