Who Is Charles Steigerwalt?
The exhibit discusses Mr. Steigerwalt's life from his childhood to his tragic death. You will learn he was not only an auctioneer but also a coin dealer, publisher, and collector of many articles. He would become one of the foremost numismatists of his time. Even today, Mr. Steigerwalt is still referred to in coin auction catalogs and other numismatic publications.

The 1804 Large Cent
The 1804 Large Cent has fascinated numismatists for over 200 years. From the advent of American coin collecting and continuing into the present day, it has been viewed as one of the key dates to the series, and one of the rarest cents issued in the 233-year history of the denomination. With that background, it has also become one of the most studied issues. Here, I will take a look at some of the research into this exciting coin using materials from Walter Breen and R.W. Julian, as well as a pair of coins: one 1804 original and one "restrike."

Fractional Currency Literature
To showcase some of the different reference books, dealer fixed price lists, articles, and auction catalogs related mainly to fractional currency. It will include books with heavy fractional currency information that is not the main purpose of the book.
