NOTES FROM E-SYLUM READERS: JUNE 29, 2014Moulton Email Hacked Karl Moulton ( numiscats@aol.com ) writes: Last weekend, my AOL account was hacked. Emails from scammers were sent asking for money regarding a sick cousin in Portugal. Please do not reply to anything along those lines. It wasn't me. Thank you! Demonic Typo Chip Howell and other readers caught a typo in Dick Johnson's 'Calls to Arms' article last week. It should, of course, be 'demonetization', not 'demonization'. Sorry I missed that one. Ron Haller-Williams writes: Use of a capital M in "The ANA should lead the way to curtail the Electronic Transfer of Payment Monster" had my imagination running wild at the thought of some sort of a Payment Monster saying "Beam me up, Scottie"! More significantly, either auto-correct was on or you (or Dick?) were thinking rather too much about monsters, when talking about "commemorative 'coins' for sale to a gullible public. If they bore a demonization it would be meaningless because they could not be spent." I just love the thought association: denomination --> demonetization --> demonization !!! (Maybe demonetization was in one's mind from the Siberian pieces?) Pablo Hoffman picked up on this thread, too. He writes: . . . Evidence that "Money is the root of all evil?"

They and some regular issue coppers were indeed struck at Kolyvan, but with the mintmark KM, not CM. CM in the 18th century designated Cestoresk in Finland. CM was then used in the 19th century for the Suzan mint in Siberia. To read the earlier E-Sylum article, see: MORE ON THE FT.

Ray Williams writes: Fascinating reading this week, as usual. In "The Junior Numismatic Correspondence Club" article, I noticed in the first picture that the geeky looking young man on the far right must be from New Jersey, as he is displaying what is referred to as our "State Bird"! LOL!
Thanks for the sacrifices to produce The E-Sylum!
