The list of bald people on coins certainly must include the extraordinarily plentiful Winston Churchill Crown.

I always enjoy your e-newsletter. If you want to consider bald guys on medals, you can start with the excellent portrait of me done by Eugene Daub to celebrate my 70th birthday in 2008. It was issued by the Jewish-American Hall of Fame, for which I have served as director since 1968; it also celebrated the JAHF's 40th anniversary

I have a question - from what country did the "pennies" spring that decorated the U.S. map of "pennies?"

I specialize in exonumia but I do know that the U.S. Mint produced cents, not pennies. Perhaps the same question should be directed at the folks at Heritage who gushed about the "pennies" being sold in a recent or upcoming sale (sorry, I didn't remember which). Are the "unwashed and uneducated" being taught that the Mint is producing pennies and not cents? Hmm. Best wishes and good health to all.

The March 11 Economy and Business item “For U.S. Mint, the high costs of small change” perpetuated the incorrect characterization of the “cent” as a “penny.” In fact, since 1793, the government has minted cents and has always called them that.

The current incarnation, the Lincoln cent, has been minted continuously since 1909. The U.S. Mint doesn’t call them “pennies.” This incorrect description of “penny” and “pennies” seems to persist no matter what anybody says about it. I think The Post might want to consider correcting that incorrect nomenclature.

Hi All, I started my collecting career in Victoria, British Columbia in the mid 60's. Collecting English coins was popular and inexpensive, and there were, I wouldn't say lots, but several Edward VI shillings floating around in lesser grades (I had bought one for $7.50). The idea that Sir Francis Drake studied the west coast of North America around 1600 is a nice thought, but there's no concrete proof. A nice find, AND it feeds the myth....aren't coins fun?

On Carlos Saavedra Lamas' Nobel Peace Prize, I have a very small anecdote. I think his estate must have been broken up some years ago as I used to have in my medal and decoration collection an award document for the Brazilian Grand Cross of the Order of the Southern Cross given to Lamas in 1936. It came to me from a European seller and I had it for a number of years before offering it to another collector. I wish I had pictures of the document.

I remember going to California some years ago with a hoard of gold coins that I wanted to sell. When Alzheimer's set in, I forgot what I did with them. Obviously, it was the Saddle Ridge coin hoard. Can I have them back?

Found the attached piece in Lot 590 in the Lyn Knight Spring Auction. It is something I have never seen before and likely of interest to Washingtonia collectors.
