I want to stress to the reader that Josiah K. Lilly was an
extraordinary collector. He did not collect just one type of coin or object of art, but
was a man who desired to
assemble a variety of items and make those collections as complete as he could.

In 1793 the fledgling
United States Mint produced its first coins for circulation. For cents, there
would be three design types. The first was the
Flowing Hair obverse with Chain style reverse. Newspapers and the public
criticized the Chain design, and stated that "Liberty was in chains."
