ANOTHER MISSING MONTICELLO NUMISMATIC ITEM
John W. Adams writes: "While on the subject of missing Jeffersonia, add a set of Comitia Americana medals in white metal. This was brought across the Atlantic by TJ in 1789, along with the silver set to be presented to George Washington. (This treasure now resides in the cabinet of the Massachusetts Historical Society). A couple of years ago, I asked Monticello about the white metal set and the curator recalls having it but confessed sadly that it had disappeared."
