This article is about… the first US gold commemorative coins, allowing us to meet one of the more interesting characters in the history of numismatics, coin collector, dealer, and ruthless promoter Farran Zerbe. Today, he's mostly remembered for good, with a major numismatics award named for him, but he was a very controversial figure in his time. Wehwalt ( talk) 03:28, 9 March 2014 (UTC) reply

I anticipate there will be little difficulty in dealing with these points. Brianboulton ( talk) 21:15, 19 March 2014 (UTC) reply
Support: your responses are fine by me. I will keep my eyes alert to the future doings of the egregious Zerbe. Brianboulton ( talk) 09:34, 23 March 2014 (UTC) reply
Support – immaculate, as we have come to expect from this source on this subject. Just three small comments:
Wehwalt continues to make numismatic articles interesting even to those like me who are not predisposed towards the subject. As well as covering the essentials fully, clearly and authoritatively, he throws in fascinating stuff about the 9-mile walk in the Agricultural Building (the mind boggles), and the origins of the song "Meet Me in St. Louis". The illustrations are as fine as in other coin articles from this contributor, which is saying a lot. Top flight stuff. – Tim riley ( talk) 22:03, 5 April 2014 (UTC) reply
