LOVETT FAMILY BOOK IN WORKS

<From the press release:
"Freelance writer Katherine Jaeger, Shamokin, PA, a
descendant of the Lovett family and possessor of the family's
archives, announced in the Feb. 2005 issue of Numismatist
that she has teamed with token expert Russell Rulau, Iola, WI,
an inductee in Numismatic Hall of Fame, to produce a book
on the Lovetts.

Family patriarch Robert Lovett Sr. and his three famous
sons dominated American token-medal engraving 1816 to
the 1890's. The volume is to contain previously unpublished
photographs of family members, history, their products and
genealogy. Wesley S. Cox, Columbia, MO, has added
die-evidence studies to the work.

Rulau stated he waited to reveal these plans until Ms.
Jaeger published her Numismatist article on Brooklyn's
Green-Wood Cemetery, final resting place of many of the
greats of New York numismatics. He said, "There is no
timetable. When the work is completed to our satisfaction,
we'll consider publication. No publisher has been approached
or selected at this time."

Any person wishing to assist in this labor of love may
contact Ms. Jaeger at katrinka at evenlink.com or Rulau at
rviking at athenet.net

Robert Lovett Jr. produced the famous Confederate States
cent and George Hampden Lovett cut the original Confederate
States Treasury Dept. seal. John Doubleday Lovett, the third
son, was less known though active. Robert Lovett Sr. during
the Hard Times period was a strong anti-U.S. Bank man but
produced both pro-Jackson and anti-Jackson medalets -
"profit above politics."
