Regarding the New Jersey "Thursday Lunch Club" group of colonial numismatics mavens,
Ray Williams writes:
"On Thursday October 12th we met for lunch but three of us couldn't attend. It's a shame when health, jobs and jury duty make demands on our hobby time! But it gives the rest of us an opportunity to trash talk them in their absence! Only kidding! Those able to attend were Mike Brooks, Bill Liatys, Leo Shane, Roger Moore and myself, of course. I'm attaching some images of items brought for show n tell."

Ray adds:
"The Samuel Nicholas signature is that of the very first commandant of the Marines, Nov 10, 1775."
Virginia Seven Dollars
New Hampshire Two Dollars
1793 New York Bowery Hay Receipt
Group of notes signed by Morris family members

Thanks, Ray! Great material!
