Lawrence J. Lee, curator of the Byron Reed Collection at the Durham Western Heritage Museum, was pictured in an article in the May 23rd issue of Numismatic News. The article covers a presentation he made at the Central States Numismatic Society show on research into "A Remarkable Piece Lately Found in Philadelphia". The title is taken from a presentation by William Sumner Appleton to the Boston Numismatic Society in 1861. The piece, pedigreed to Joseph Mickley and Charles Bushnell, is of unknown origin, and Lee's "research into the legends, letter punches, and iconography" is beginning to shed some light on the unusual coin, whose legends read "Confederatio Americanus Juvenus, Tyrannis in Peretum Abeit Terra (translated as The Youthful American Confederation, Let the Earth be Forever free From Tyrants."
