BOOK REVIEW: FUGIO COPPER NOTES

Fugio Copper Notes was started by Rob many years ago and lay in limbo following Rob's death in 2004. I know that he spent time with Eric Newman on these coins to make sure he had the information he needed and that Eric was very helpful to him. Rob was very meticulous concerning research.

There was another person that took on the job, but it languished for quite awhile. Fortuitously, Jeff Rock took on the project and brought it to fruition. It was really a work of love as Rob and Jeff were very close. Rob's wife Margaret and his daughters are so pleased that Jeff's hard work made the publication possible. As a friend, it makes me smile.

I have known Rob since 1982 or so. He fueled my interest in early American and pre-federal copper which led to many other doors being opened. Portland, Oregon was quite a hot bed of copper geeks thanks to the generosity of Rob in sharing his knowledge, and humor. His involvement in Colonial coinage was shared by many outside of his home base. Sharing a table with Rob at EAC and C4 was a treat, and honor.

Through his book, Rob continues to promote education in this historic area of numismatics, not only Fugio's, but also through his Connecticut copper as well. I really miss him. Cudo's to Margaret and the girls and Jeff Rock for making this book a reality.

The book is available through Charles Davis for $65.00 plus postage.
