Corn or Wheat?
Greg Meyer writes:
Maybe I am confused.... I thought corn was a new world introduction to Europe after 1492.... But this sale is identifying Celtic coins
with a "Classic" layout described as corn.... the image with the intercalating hairs sticking through the grains looks like
classic wheat to me...
Well, I'm a city boy, but it looks like wheat to me, too. -Editor

Otis, Arnold & Co., Cincinnati
Regarding the Savings Bank of Louisville, KY banknote discussed in previous issues, Wendell Wolka writes:
The agent's name was actually Otis, Arnold & Co., out of Cincinnati. The firm is listed as an illegal note issuer in the 1839 Ohio
Bank Commissioners' Report. It was involved with / owned the Exchange Bank of Cincinnati which seemed to be the redemption partner
for several banks in Ohio and other states including Tennessee.
