MORE BORN OR DIED ON CHRISTMAS

Last week Pete Smith submitted a compilation of American numismatists who were either born on or passed away on Christmas. Here are some reader additions. -Editor

Mark Borckardt writes:

"Robert Miller, Sr. – born on Christmas – colonial collector and dealer

"And this one is a stretch:
James Carl Borckardt (9/28/1956-12/25/1974) – brother of numismatist Mark Borckardt."

Steve Feller writes:

"To the list of numismatists who were born or died on Christmas I add Isaac Newton, yes the scientist Newton who also served as Master of the Royal Mint. He was born Christmas day of 1642.

"It is also interesting to note that it was Christmas Day then but it was under the old calendar. By the modern calendar it was January, 4, 1643. Still, based on the calendar in use it was Christmas!"
