KARL MOULTON TO SPEAK ON JOHN J. FORD, JR. AND THE ‘FRANKLIN HOARD'
There are a number of events of interest to bibliophiles and researchers at the upcoming American Numismatic Association convention.
I've adapted the following announcement from an email sent to members of the Society for Private and Pioneer Numismatists.

The annual SPPN Meeting will take place at 11AM on Saturday, August 20, 2011, at the A.N.A. in Chicago, IL – at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, Room 4. The featured speaker will be Karl Moulton, on his upcoming book: "John J. Ford, Jr. and the ‘Franklin Hoard.'"
Karl Moulton has spent over twenty years researching John J. Ford, Jr., one of numismatics' most brilliant and controversial personalities. Thorough reading of over 200 personal letters, among other documents, allowed Moulton to compile a record of Ford's numismatic activities. In particular, Ford's association with Paul Franklin, Sr. is examined, as Moulton explores the "Franklin Hoard" controversy, in which the legitimacy of an 1853 $20 U.S. Assay Office "proof" gold coin is questioned.
