"Here is a video showing that particular item @ 5:53 on the video. They have another very beautiful and impressive gold framed currency display @ 5:46 in the video and close up of both @ around 6:46 in the video."

"Another nice video of the restoration of the Treasury Bldg."

"You asked about the BEP note frames - Yes, the ANA still has two of them hanging in our Conference room! The Smithsonian's National Numismatic Collection has a set of them as well - two were hanging in the library atrium for many years. The BEP should be able to say how many there are on long-term loan to various organizations. The set in the ANA has been there since the just after the building opened in the 1960s."

Thanks, everyone! -Editor

"I was reading posts on Treasurenet.com and came across this one. The E-Sylum article was referenced to help to identify this coin/token dug in western Montana. Looking around I have not seen any other images of the actual coins. I thought that E-Sylum readers may find this interesting and perhaps someone out there knows more about the mintage of these pieces. I tried to make the images better -- but I don't think they can be much helped---"

Thanks for trying! It's nicer to know our earlier articles and being found and used by the public. That's why each and every one is archived on our website and made available to all. -Editor

"Regarding the write-up on Bitcoins in the last E-Sylum, I tried to buy one the other day but the machine wouldn't accept my $57,000 in cash. Then I tried my credit card and Visa wouldn't accept it. And the clerk at the gas station didn't have change for my $100,000 note. What to do now?"

I hate when that happens... -Editor

"Here's an acquisition from the recent Dalton, GA show. In 1992, Rulau listed this issue as Baker # 363x, noting they were modern restrikes. I suspect these restrikes were created in the 1960's; perhaps, during the Civil War centennial years.

"In researching this issue, I can find only scant info online. I'm wondering if any readers can provide insight or point to literature that details their origin? It occurs to me that the records of Capital Plastics who created the custom holders might provide insight.

"Who created and/or marketed this uni-face, silver restrike? Were pieces struck in metals other than silver? (Note that this die is similar to or possibly the same one used to create tokens for the 1864 Philadelphia Sanitary Fair.) From where did this die originate, and does it still exist? Has it as yet been determined if this Fuld Die # 122 is, in actuality, Die # 123? At what price were these originally sold? Does any marketing ad copy still exist?

"Any help or leads would be much appreciated! "

Can anyone help? -Editor

"This might be a bit too politically charged for The E-Sylum, but it stood out in my pocket change this afternoon and it's the first time I've seen anything like it. It's a Series 2013 $20 Federal Reserve Note; no markings on the face, but the back bears the handwritten message TRUMP 2020, with the numerals of the denomination used to spell the year. I thought it was a clever use of the canvas and design elements of a $20 bill. I don't think there's a Where's George? equivalent for twenties, but for the record this was found in Roswell, Georgia, on May 21, 2021."

Once in a while a reader will get their knickers in twist over something like this, but most know that we're only in this for the numismatics. I enjoy the opportunity to document the contemporary use of overstamps and graffiti regarding any political party or issue. I hadn't seen anything like this either. This sure has the look of a one-off, but perhaps there are copycats or more from the same source. Has anyone seen one of these in the wild? -Editor
