David Lisot who produced the video commented: “Hearing history told through the people that lived at the time is particularly interesting. The Pennsylvania Association of Numismatists (PAN) is dedicated to promoting coin collecting by sponsoring educational lectures. This Civil War Showcase is told by Abe Lincoln and General William T. Sherman at the PAN Convention.”
Moderators were Rick Lank and Rebecca Rush, Talisman & Coin Productions, with Dennis Boggs (Abraham Lincoln) and Kris Gulvansen (General Sherman).
