NOTE last paragraph of Taylors alleged letter,
"I will take pleasure in sending you
a specimen for the archives you represent.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
TAYLOR,B. F. M. D.
Formerly Chief Coiner C.S.A. "
SEE click on taylor wright letters

please note taylors intent on coping this coin and sending them to
adjuant gen. office in response to their letter,
perhaps this coin with the T, is one of these coins if so,
more rare than the orginal 4.
To deny this letter is to deny one of the sourc es of the coin.

WHAT IS OF GREAT INTEREST TO ME,IS THE TIME LINE.
ABOUT JAN 2 1879,A NEWSPAPER PRINTS AN ARTICLE ON TAYLORS COIN,
STATING ITS EXISTANCE FROM MASON, INFO IS FROM MASON.
QUESTION, IF A MAN LIKE MASON WANTS A COIN OR IS INTERESTED
IN ACQUIRING A COIN, WHY WOULD HE ADVERTISE IT
BEFORE ACQUIRING IT AND RAISE THE PRICE.
UNLESS HE ALREADY HAS A COPY, OR THINKS HE DOES. REDFLAG

THEN UPON request FROM WAR DEPT. IN A LETTER DATED MARCH 26 1879, WAR DEPT CANNOT LOCATE THIS REQUEST, NOT WHERE ITS SUPPOSED TO BE
red flag.

TAYLOR RESPONDS APRIL 7 1879, HE IS GOING TO MAKE COPIES
OF THE SPECIMEN, DONT KNOW IF HE MEANS COIN , OR DIE AND COIN.
THEN SOON AFTER, LATER IN APRIL SELLS COIN AND DIE TO MASON ?.
IT DONT MAKE SENSE, WAS IT ONE OF THE ORGINAL COPIES MADE BY
TAYLOR FOR THE WAR DEPT, KEEPING ORGINAL FOR HIMSELF,
OR IF MORE THAN ONE EXISTED WITH TAYLOR, I WOULD SELL THE COPY.

1.WASH. CANNOT LOCATE RESPONSE IN 109 CONF. ARCHIVES.

2.THE 13 STATES OF THE CONF. NOT EVEN EXISTING AT TIME OF LETTER,

3 AND COINS GIVEN TO PEOPLE , WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE RECEIVED THEM.

3 RED FLAGS .

THEN MASON PRODUCES THE COIN AND DIE , ALLEGED FROM TAYLOR
THAT HE SAID HE BROUGHT, TO A.N. SOCIETY AND TRIES TO SELL IT TO THEM.
NOT SELLING THEM, THEN SELLS THEM TO SCOTT.
WITHOUT BILL OF SALE OR LETTER FROM TAYLOR,

SELLS TO SCOTT, ALLEGED TAYLORS COIN.
TO KEEP CHAIN OF EDIVENCE ALIVE,
A-NEEDED LETTER FROM TAYLOR TO MASON JAN 1879.

B-LOCATION OF LETTER FROM WAR DEPT TO TAYLOR. NOT IN ARCHIVES.

C-LETTER FROM TAYLOR TO WAR DEPT, NOT IN ARCHIUVES.

D-LETTER OR BILL OF SALE FROM TAYLOR TO MASON.

WITHOUT THESE ITS ALL HERESAY AND QUESTIONABLE,
IN A COURT OF LAW, ALL NOT ACCEPTED AS EDIVENCE.

Mint information timeline

some say the word specimen refers to files requested in
orginal request,but i think he thought it easier to
make a copy, then to copy all these files ,since he had the die.
then to prove its existance sent a copy and die,
(copy) to prove to the world what he just told the war dept.

LOOK TO THE PREVIOUS PARAGRAPH, HE TALKING ABOUT AVAILABILITY OF COIN, THEN SAYS AS SOON AS COPIES CAN BE MADE, I WILL SEND YOU ONE,HE ANSWERED
THE ORGINAL REQUEST IN THE FIRST PART OF HIS LETTER.
SOMEONE CREATED A PORTAL FOR THESE FOUR COINS, THEN SLAMED THE DOOR SHUT
BUT ITS BASED ON HERESAY, AND THE DOOR HAS FLUNG OPEN

CANNOT BE LOCATED. THESE LETTERS IN CONFEDERATE
WASHINGTON ARCHIVES, MUST BE THERE, SINCE THESE WERE THE PEOPLE WHO
WRIGHT WORKED FOR AND REQUESTED THIS INFO FOR THEIR RECORDS,
AND FROM TAYLOR. IF THEY CANNOT BE LOCATED, TO VERIFY, THE FOUNDATION ON INFO
OF THE 1861 CONFEDERATE HALF DOLLAR IS MISSING, LOST , STOLEN, MISPLACED ETC.

****

IF ANY ONE HAS A LOCATION OF THESE LETTERS, COME FWD, FOR THE VERY FOUNDATION OF THE 1861 CONFEDERATE HALF DOLLAR IS CRUMBLING, NOT ITS EXISTANCE, BUT TO THE INFO OF 4 ORGINAL, COPIES, AND DESCRIPITION, IT WILL BE OPEN SEASON.

NORTH CAROLINA COLLECTION- Nicholas Graham

If you're trying to confirm whether a letter ever made it to the
Confederate Archives, I'd suggest contacting the U.S. National
Archives. All of the official records of the Confederacy that have
survived are maintained. There is a description of that collection
online at

http://www.archives.gov/research/guide-fed-records/groups/109.html
Good luck with your research.
Sincerely,

ANSWER WASH DC
I wrote these people, they cannot find them

NWCTB-2609858
We searched several series of records but were unable to identify
either letter you are seeking. We searched the following series
relating to the Records of the Archive Office found in
Record Group 109, War Department Collection
of Confederate Records:
Entry 435, Letters Sent, 1865-80
Entry 438, Letters Received, 1865-81
Entry 439, Register of Letters Received, 1865-81
Entry 440, Endorsements of Letters Received, 1865-82
Entry 445, Papers of Marcus J. Wright, 1878-86

We also consulted National Archives Microfilm Publication M565,
Letters Sent by the Office of the Adjutant General (Main Series)
1800-1890, but again were unable to identify the letter
sent from Wright.

We regret that we cannot undertake the extensive research
necessary toidentify the exact documents which interest you.
Our staff can assist researchers with their work, but cannot undertake
substantive research for them.We will be pleased to assist you
or your representative in using our finding aids,
and in making the records available for use in
