FEATURED WEB PAGE

  This week's featured web page is from the Russ Logan
  collection site.  It pictures an 1829 U.S. Bust Half Dollar
  with a "Houck's Panacea Baltimore" counterstamp.

  "According to Gregory Brunk in American and Canadian
  Countermarked Coins, Jacob Houck operated his business
  at the corner of German and Hanover streets in Baltimore,
  and advertised in the 1842 Matchett's Baltimore City Directory.
  His product, Houck's Panacea, was prepared from vegetable
  matter and cured a variety of ailments."
