The groundbreaking exhibit on display at the LSCC table (and the BCCS table as well) was probably the most important on the entire floor of the recently held ANA World'sFair of Money. Thanks to the generosity of the Trepagnier family, the club exhibits presented historic artifacts of William and Charles Barber, the 5th and 6th Chief Engravers ofthe U.S. Mint. William Barber designed the Liberty Seated Double Dime (twenty cents) and the Trade Dollar. The items on exhibit provided new insights into both engravers, andchanges much about what we know about them. The LSCC exhibit was entitled William Barber Revealed!

To make things even more memorable, one of William Barber's great-great-grandsons, Pierre Trepagnier, and his wife Louise, came to Philadelphia for the ANA Convention. Afterthey were introduced as special guests at the LSCC Annual Meeting, they adjourned with us upstairs to the bourse floor, where they were awestruck seeing their own artifacts ondisplay with many others from Pierre's brother, who was unable to attend.

A complete view and detailed description of each of the 12 cases of the William and Charles Barber exhibit is on the following pages of this issue of the E-Gobrecht, foryour enjoyment in case you were unable to come to Philadelphia.
