ing me such literature for some time
as ! will inclose. Who Is Mr.. Har-

a board 1-2x2 feet. This collec-
tion is very interesting, as each
change Of issue of coins is noted from
the large Liberty" pennies, the
Eagle" pennies, the "Indian head
to the present Lincoln penny. Also
on this board are old Civil
war relics found by myself on the
battlefields of Chickamauga, Mission
ridge and Lookout mountain. These
relics consist of different types of
bullets used by the federal and Con-
federate armies, an old f1intlock pis-
toll, bullet mold, saber points and the
famous MIME ball; also the grape
shot used by the federals. There are
also many foreign stamps and old
dates in foreign coins. The design

no other like this, and guarantee 1T

other collection like this on record?
