MICKLEY INFORMATION OFFERED 

   In his May, 2001 fixed price list of American Numismatic 
   Literature, Karl Moulton offers a single bound photocopied 
   reprint of the Mickley Family Genealogy, compiled by 
   Minnie F. Mickley in 1893. "Found within is a 26-page 
   biography of Joseph Mickley written by his close friend, 
   J. Bunting.  This well detailed account of Mickley may have 
   been written in response to several earlier stories and myths 
   presented by A.M. Smith and W.E. Woodward. 

   I have written an article for one of Dave Bowers' upcoming 
   Rare Coin Reviews, which presents for the first time a 
   detailed account of Mickley's life along with his involvement 
   in American numismatics.  One of the major surprises is the 
   discrediting of the story having to do with Joseph Mickley 
   obtaining four over-dated quarters from the Mint in 1827."
