The E-Sylum: Volume 3, Number 24, June 11, 2000, Article 4KEN BRESSETT WRITESIn response to last week's E-Sylum, "Red Book" editor Ken Bressett writes: "Thanks for another great issue of E-Sylum. It just keeps getting better each week and is always something to look forward to each Monday. Your dedication and work is very much appreciated. Peter and Donna Jones were two of the nicest people in all of the numismatic world. The comments about her hospitality and entertaining were not exaggerated. Unfortunately I lost contact with them some years ago, but I would like to send Donna a note of sympathy. Can you or anyone supply an address? (Editor's note: Paul Withers has received several such requests; Donna Jones has recently moved, and Paul is working to find her new address). To Tom DeLorey's request for info on an early auction of patterns, I can offer the following: There was an auction on Wednesday, May 30th, 1860 by Leonard & Co, of Boston, Mass. that contained several lots of patterns all described as such. Many were 1859 varieties, others went back to Gobrecht dollars of 1838. It is interesting to note that Feuchtwanger pieces were included. One lot is described as "full set of 1858 Pattern Cents, proofs, 12 varieties." Thanks for your kind words about "The Fantastic 1804 Dollar" book. Somehow the coin continues to get more fantastic with each passing year."
