Today I was looking through a coin collectors weekly pulication (Numismatic News) and I saw this ad by a COIN dealer that makes me wish the RIGHTFUL owners knew about.... "Revolutionary War military payment receipts, state of Connecticut, signed and dated 1789. Preserved in flawless condition. These are 200+ year old receipts of interest paid to Minutemen on wages still due from the Revolutionary War. What a fantastic piece of early Americana at an incredibly low price! " These receipts were priced at $39.95 but to the living descendants of these soldiers, they would be PRICELESS.So sad to see a coin dealer peddling items such as this. The coin dealer probably thinks that a GENEOLOGIST is someone who works for some bio-tech company... Anthony in Ohio
