Thomas Lindsay Elder (1874-1948), born in Dayton, Pennsylvania on November 22, 1874, was the son of Scottish-American parents, McLeod and Hannah (Knox) Elder. Thomas Elder is among the most prominent and influential American numismatists and coin dealers of the first three decades of the 20th century up to the early 1930's when other prominent dealers like B. Max Mehl, Wayte Raymond, and Joe and Morty Stack emerged to dominate the market, overshadowing him. In this series, the 18K gold had a mintage of 500 pieces with only 300 sold and the remaining 200 melted. There were also 14 struck in German Silver, and unrecorded numbers in Sterling Silver, Copper, Gildine (gilt brass), and Aluminum. The gold were originally issued at $2.50 each and a set of all six metals for $10.
