WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM 1 JULY, 2007

Among our recent subscribers are Ron Pope and Robert T. Manning MD,
courtesy of Dave Bowers, also Rickie Rose and Dan Burleson. Welcome
aboard!  We now have 1,145 subscribers.

This week we open with good news about (and a review of) a long-awaited
numismatic publishing project - the Canadian Numismatic Bibliography.
Also of interest to bibliophiles is the SPMC Author's Forum at the
upcoming Memphis Paper Money show.  In research queries this week, a
new subscriber seeks information on Wayte Raymond's Standard Catalogue.

In response to a question last week, E-Sylum readers come through with
a flood of great information on the Laura Gardin Fraser Better Babies
Medal.  Also, John Meissner provides the answer to his 1960's classified
ad quiz, but not before Dick Johnson takes a crack at solving it.  Dick
also provides us with insight into the creation of the classified
advertising schemes used in weekly American numismatic publications.

My London Diary is up next, with a look at life during a tense weekend
of terrorist activity.  Numismatic activities continued with a visit to
Westminster Abbey and a spy-movie-style rendezvous at Heathrow airport.

In the news, the Canadian "medal detector" has been nominated for an
award for his efforts to unite Canadian war medals with families and
museums, the Indian coin shortage continues, and the Royal Canadian
Mint manages to sell a few of the Million Dollar gold coins.

To learn what the American Eugenics Movement, razor blades and the
"Pyx Chamber" have to do with numismatics, read on.  Have a great
week, everyone.
