ABC #042: Robert Patterson, James Ross Snowden, & Augustus Goodyear Heaton - Mint Condition: Some Laurel Hill Coinage Connections
The United States Mint has been in Philadelphia since 1792. It has produced billions of coins, from half-pennies to 20-dollar gold double eagles. Many of the early officers were Philadelphians. In this podcast, you will hear about doubloons and trimes, Peter the eagle, the California gold rush and Colorado's Comstock lode, greenbacks, Gresham's law, and more. And you will hear some bad poetry.
Think of this podcast as a four-parter.
1) Development of the Mint
2) Mint Directors Robert Patterson (father) & Robert Maskell Patterson (son)
3) Mint Director James Ross Snowden (uncle) & Mint Supervisor A. Loudon Snowden (nephew)
4) Painter, poet, playwright, and numismatist Augustus Goodyear Heaton
