I just got this coin which is ex Dr. John Harvey Kellogg (1852-1943) who was the founder of the Battle Creek Sanitarium and inventor of the Corn Flake. I thought it was pretty neat to get a coin that used to belong to the inventor of corn flakes. It also has has some brilliant azurite deposits.

That’s a beautiful coin in its own right, but with the interesting old provenance it is more lovely!
