As many E-Sylum readers know, I am a long time collector, researcher and specialist in the early U.S. Silver Dollars 1794-1803. Bob Stark, a friend and also long time specialist in the early silver dollars recently shared with me a letter "from the desk of John J. Ford, Jr." dated February 12, 1986. I was not aware of this hoard and find this information quite interesting.

I am forwarding this for publication in E-Sylum to share this information with readers and in hope that someone might be able to shed some light on this subject. The letter reads,

Perhaps this hoard was dispersed through one of Kosoff's public auction sales or fixed price lists. If anyone has information on this hoard, Bob and I would appreciate "solving this long time mystery." I can be reached at wdperki@attglobal.net. Thank you.
