The Shearling Coat #1363

Collar up like castle walls on a winter corner. Its wearer sips coffee inside the warmest architecture north of the equator. //----------- THE MARKS On October 6 THE CENSUS RELEASE was cut from 6,666 to 1,111. Five thousand five hundred and fifty five painted New Yorkers were seen, painted, numbered and then left off the count. THE MARKS are 150 of them. A census taker counts in tally marks: four strokes and a slash. These New Yorkers carry the mark instead of the number. This is Mark 024 of 150. The mint order was shuffled once before the drop and published, so nobody, the artist included, picked who got which. Every Mark is revealed the moment it is minted. //----------- MOVES.
