Jeff Reichenberger writes: "I'd like to follow up on Roger Burdette's
inquiry about the Ashbrook sales with one of my own. Also stemming
from my Ashbrook study, I'm looking for any information about a
collection of gold coins, possibly a consignment, from the name
Edward Bringhurst of Wilmington, DE, or from his daughter, Mrs.
Galt Smith. Unfortunately, I can only speculate an approximate range
of the decades 1920 to 1950 that these coins may have surfaced in
a sale or auction, if at all. Any such information would be
greatly appreciated.

"In addition, I am self-publishing a short run of my manuscript on
the Ashbrook diaries in pamphlet form. Entitled: Charter Legacy,
Numismatic chronicle from the diaries of William A. Ashbrook 1905 -
1920; it covers an interesting period in numismatics from the
Congressman's point of view as Chairman of the House Coinage Committee,
the ANA and it's Federal Charter, as well as some national historic
events. I anticipate completion in a few weeks. If anyone is interested
in receiving a copy, I'd be pleased to send one for the cost of postage.
Just send me a mailing address. jkreichenberger@hotmail.com"
