MORE ON CHRIS SCHENKEL

Dick Johnson writes: "To add a little bit more to last week's
item on Chris Schenkel: He collected American Indian items
and his collection of Indian medals, including Indian Peace
Medals, was sold by Bowers & Merena in November 1990.
David Ganz wrote an article the same month about his Indian
medal collection which appeared in Coin World.

In addition to this, his portrait appeared on a medal struck
by Medallic Art Company a decade earlier. It was called
"The Chris Shenkel Medallion" yet it was only 2 1/2-inch
diameter -- far smaller than what medallists and numismatists
consider a "medallion" -- 80mm or 3 1/8-inch. He should
have been aware of the correct term."
