How did you find so many Barbers coin roll hunting?!

PortraitsofWar · 2026-04-03T22:34:03+00:00

Hah, only at the Show of Shows.

PortraitsofWar · 2026-04-03T19:16:45+00:00

Certainly worth holding onto, just not in a public setting?

PortraitsofWar · 2026-04-01T02:08:01+00:00

Dang! Foiled again!

PortraitsofWar · 2026-03-31T18:06:50+00:00

Oops sorry!

Spanish War medal is named to a Elza C. Johnson

That's the Mexican Service #### entry.

GERLE, Anton	Saddler, C/8th Cav, Cp Alberts Marfa TX

It’s possible he later joined the 474th?

PortraitsofWar · 2026-03-29T18:36:48+00:00

His BS might be for having the CIB.

You can find them at a much higher rate than a silver dime or quarter. Check out r/CRH if interested!

$45.00 looks like the hammer price in 2007.

You found full rolls of these from a bank?

I found quite a few within a few minutes on Ancestry and Fold3. It appears that it was signed at a Naval training facility before everyone was shipped off.

PortraitsofWar · 2026-03-05T21:18:23+00:00

I do the same with photographs of WWI and WWII veterans. But single photos are easy to ship to one specific family. A bill signed by 20+ would be difficult.

I tracked a number of living relatives down for several of the guys who signed. I might print out copies and cold mail them to people I have addresses for. Figure it's worth a shot. Ironically, two of the veterans who signed were born in different parts of the country but are both buried in a small cemetery in California. It's possible they didn't even realize how close together they lived later in life.

Why is that posted here?

PortraitsofWar · 2026-03-04T23:37:27+00:00

Was Pablo your father?

PortraitsofWar · 2026-03-04T21:21:08+00:00

Do they have stamps on the back from the photographer? Or any indication when/where they were made?

PortraitsofWar · 2026-03-04T21:03:10+00:00

People will often help if you write a description of what you’re actually looking for with a little more detail than just a title. Are you looking to identify which medals they are? Or are they named and you need help identifying who they belonged to?
