My wife and I were spending part of the day today at the Eiteljorg Musuem in Indianapolis, Indiana. It is filled with native American and western art. Much to my surprise I came across this sculpture by Adolph Weinman. I was a little disappointed that they didn't mention anything about his numismatic accomplishments. I guess it shouldn't surprise me. My wife was less than impressed when I tried to explain the significance to her.
I started collecting coins in the early 1970’s by helping my grandfather sort pennies for our Lincoln folders. We would spend hours sitting around my grandparent’s dining room table. I remember being absolutely amazed at the size of his collection of what I considered to be impossibly old coins.
