MICKLEY INFORMATION OFFERED
In his May, 2001 fixed price list of American Numismatic
Literature, Karl Moulton offers a single bound photocopied
reprint of the Mickley Family Genealogy, compiled by
Minnie F. Mickley in 1893. "Found within is a 26-page
biography of Joseph Mickley written by his close friend,
J. Bunting. This well detailed account of Mickley may have
been written in response to several earlier stories and myths
presented by A.M. Smith and W.E. Woodward.
I have written an article for one of Dave Bowers' upcoming
Rare Coin Reviews, which presents for the first time a
detailed account of Mickley's life along with his involvement
in American numismatics. One of the major surprises is the
discrediting of the story having to do with Joseph Mickley
obtaining four over-dated quarters from the Mint in 1827."
