Mr. Longacre was in trouble. His boss didn't like him. And his boss was Director of the United States Mint.

But Mr. Longacre had friends in high places. Like the Presidency.

Here's the story of the man who served under eight presidents and designed eight of our United States coins, all the while fighting to save his job.

Enjoy the story of our 4th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint. It's at http://thetreasurecorner.com/

(By the way, that's a self-portrait of Mr. Longacre, and a few of the coins he designed.)
