WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM NOVEMBER 9, 2014

New subscribers this week include: Isabelo Toledo and Douglas Jurgens. We now have 1,786 subscribers.

Next week another new advertiser will debut and Hedley Betts' ad will return (like a nearby comet, it's on a two-month cycle). Meanwhile, note the fine print on the Second Story Books ad - the discount on the John Huffman numismatic library titles has been raised to 30%, so their site may be worth a fresh look.

Thanks again to all of our advertisers for their support at all levels. Be sure to support them in turn, dear readers. Check out their offerings and be sure to thank them whenever you have a chance.

This week we open with a post-sale report on the Kolbe-Fanning Baltimore literature auction, three new books, and a couple items relating to the American Numismatic Society. Other topics include bronze and brass, Edgar Allan Poe medals, Confederate Half Dollars, deceptive Chinese gold coin copies, coin hoards, and numismatic items dated by month or day.

To learn more about New Zealand's commemorative medals, Peru's whiter shade of pale, gifts and presents to friends owning good taste, and the mysterious bird with a one-word vocabulary, read on. Have a great week, everyone!
