CHRISTIAN GOBRECHT FILES FOUND

From the Volume 1, Number 2 issue of The E-Gobrecht
newsletter, the electronic publication of the Liberty Seated
Collector's Club (March 2005):

"Thanks to some great detective work by Len Augsburger,
approximately 100 items from 1795 to1844 relating to
Christian Gobrecht have been located in Philadelphia, PA.
Supposedly, miscellaneous correspondence of Christian
Gobrecht, relating to his inventions and improvements in
the art of engraving, other activities in the field of his
profession, and a few items of personal and domestic
character are included. Len and Bill Bugert are planning
a visit to inventory the papers on March 9th. More on
this excursion to follow later."

[Congratulations, Len! The numismatic world needs more
detectives. We'll await the report of your findings. -Editor]
