WASHINGTON FUNERAL MEDAL INFO FOUNDOver on the colonial coin collectors forum, Chris Stevens wrote about some research he's doing on Jacob Perkins.: In reading 18th century issues of The Essex Journal "I also stumbled upon a number of interesting things. One being the original ads run by Perkins for the sale of the Washington Funeral medals. In an add on the front page of the E.J., Perkins states (exaggerates?) that bulk inquiries are welcome, and he has ability to execute 3-5 thousand pieces daily!" The ad appeared in the Jan 10, 1800 issue; here's the full text, from a picture published on the forum's web site: http://www.egroups.com/message/colonial-coins/2559 Jacob Perkins A liberal discount will be made to those Jan 7 [Editor's note: the colonial coins web pages on the egroups site are open only to subscribers of the newsgroup.
