"I read the note about Charles T. Steigerwalt in the latest E-Sylum, and thought I would share his gravestone with you. I was at Woodward Hill Cemetery last year, looking for another historical figure's grave from Lancaster's past, when I saw Steigerwalt's grave, which is close to that of President James Buchanan."

"I read last week’s E-Sylum and noticed your mention of "the only three-dimensional work of Victor D. Brenner". In fact, Brenner created quite a number of busts and other statues, though I do not know of any others on such a large scale as the Schenley Fountain."

"Garrett has found one of the more interesting facts regarding the designers of our coinage. A little study reveals how many of them were very serious American artists. You're correct!! The subject would make a really cool book !! A lot of the info has been included in many references already written."

"This small silver medal has no legends of any sort on either side. The Newman Numismatic Portal is a great resource… but not so great when there is no text to search for!

"The quality of the engraving is maybe best described as "charming", likely not the efforts of a master engraver. On the other hand, there is a lot of detail crammed into a very small space (26.0 mm, 14.1 g). The two horsemen in the foreground are in such high relief that they rise well above the height of the rims. Given all of that, I took a hunch that this was produced for a specific event that would have been recognized at the time, even without legends.

"I got lucky with a Google image search. The event shown on this medal was the Grand Review of the Armies, held at the conclusion of the Civil War on May 23-24, 1865.

"And that's all I've got. This medal might be contemporary with the 1865 event. Or it might have been produced later, for example in conjunction with a GAR encampment held in Washington. Or maybe something else.

"Does any reader have any other information about this medal?"

"Archaeologists in Israel have uncovered parts of elaborate columns from an ancient royal structure in Jerusalem.??????? In this image, an Israeli five-shekel coin is shown against the background of the capital discovered."
