NOTES FROM E-SYLUM READERS: AUGUST 10, 2014

A Silver-Plated 1977 Two Pence

Silver-Plated 1977 Two Pence

Philip Mernick writes:

Following up your item in the last E-Sylum, I have had this “silver” 2 pence coin since 1977, but I doubt if it worth anything like £1,357. The clue is in the coin’s date 1977, the year Queen Elizabeth II celebrated the silver jubilee of her reign. It is, in fact, silver plated and was given as a gift by a sales rep visiting my father. I have the feeling that I still have the compliments slip somewhere but laying my hands on it might prove difficult!

More on J.S.G. Boggs

I remember meeting this Pittsburgh artist when he visited Carnegie-Mellon University in 2003 October. In addition to an autographed copy of his book, I have my own Boggs Bill. After his talk, he offered to sign one of his bills printed from his website which were oversize and orange. I caught him by surprise when I went up with a correct size and color print of one of his older 10$ notes I had found online. He still signed it on the back.

I also found a recently uploaded 60 min Documentary which was probably made in 1992.

It's a copy of the Boggs "Money Man" documentary. Well worth watching. -Editor

Kaven also located a TV news video from Boggs' hometown of Brandon, FL. His neighbors are up in arms over the trash in his front yard. He's being fined $1,000/day, and they probably won't accept Boggs Bills. -Editor
