Hi User:Wehwalt, at section "Background and legislation", 3rd paragraph, "... introduced in the House of Representatives by New York Congressman Philip A. Goodwin on April 6, 1935 ... referred to the Committee ... by Missouri's John J. Cochran, acting chairman of the committee, on April 2, 1935. So Cochran report back to the house before Goodwin introduced?--Jarodalien (talk) 06:29, 24 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
I have trouble translating the quote, like what are "Sea of Suckers" (sea of fools?) and "proverbial one"? Also "A. Shornlamb" is author's name right?--Jarodalien (talk) 11:56, 24 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
Sea of suckers and proverbial one refer to P.T. Barnum's There's a sucker born every minute. "A. Shornlamb" should be read as "A shorn lamb", that is, one that has had its wool sheared, or removed, presumably what is meant is that the A. Shornlamb has been cheated by the coin dealers by having to buy the Hudson piece at inflated prices. This may not translate directly, but perhaps there are idioms of similar meaning. In other words, it is a pseudonym, not the author's real name.--Wehwalt (talk) 12:56, 24 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
