DECEMBER 2008 ISSUE OF THE NUMISMATIST PUBLISHED
The December 2008 issue of The
Numismatist from the American Numismatic Association has been
published. The lead article is by David Vagi on the coins of the Twelve
Caesars, with fabulous photographs by John Nebel. Also in the issue is an
article by Roger Durand on on counterfeit St. Nick notes, a piece on the
U.S. Half Cent by R. W. Julian, and one by Greg Leslie on the final coin
in the U.S. Mint's state quarter series. Gotta love the title: Hawaii
Five-O.In his Money Museum column, curator Douglas Mudd discusses the creation of the ANA's new exibit A House Divided: The Money of the Civil War.
One short article I'd like to mention covers a current exhibition at the Denver Art Museum. Houdon from the Louvre displays portrait busts by French sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon, including two that served as models for U.S. coin designs: George Washington (1786) and Benjamin Franklin (1778).
