JOHN QUINCY ADAMS SALE INFO SOUGHT

Cheryl Simani writes: "Ed Snible suggested that perhaps
someone on The E-Sylum could help me with a research
project.

I am a student at the University of Houston. Prof. Frank Holt,
author of "Alexander the Great and the Mystery of the Elephant
Medallions", is my grant mentor. I hope to publish the paper.

In the collection of John Quincy Adams, sold at auction
twenty-odd years ago, there were at least three Roman coins.
Do you, or you list members, have more information about this
and other colonial collections which contained ancient Greek,
Roman, or Middle Eastern coins? At this point it does not
matter if they were imitations or not. They simple must have
been part of a collection from colonial times, hopefully including
information on when and how the coin came to be part of the
collection. Also, outside of the well known accounts by
Haywood and Atwater, are any of you aware of early
American sources mentioning the discovery of such coins?"
