In last week's E-Sylum Harvey Stack talks about the John Adams auction his firm conducted back in the seventies. Did Harvey or any of their catalogers happen to see the Gold 1826 Erie Canal Completion Medal that was given to John Adams and his son John Quincy Adams by the Common Council of the City of New York in honor of their celebration? That would account for two more of the gold medals!

Does anyone at the Museum of Fine Arts or Massachusetts Historical Society remember seeing them in the Adams family archives or collection of medals and coins once in their possession??
