Paul Hybert writes:

The Collector Exhibits Area at the ANA's "World's Fair of Money" in Denver has a wide range of exhibits for your enjoyment. Use the online Exhibit Guide, located at http://www.chicagocoinclub.org/events/2017/ana/ex/all_by_cl.html to see a list of the exhibits, arranged over 18 different exhibiting classes. Look for a few exhibits ahead of time, or drop by and look at them all!

Among the expected exhibits are: a complete set of medals from the Society of Medallists, some Carnegie Hero medals, and two exhibits on the upcoming solar eclipse.

This online Exhibit Guide will be updated with corrections and changes so that the final version will list all exhibits that are present when the area opens to the public on Tuesday.

We are conveniently located between the Treasury Department's booth and Allen Berman's booth.

Looks like a great lineup of exhibits. Here's just a sampling ot topics:

Matte Proof Lincoln Cents 1909 to 1916

Numismatic Friends of Sherlock Holmes Dinner

Greg Ruby publishes The Fourth Garrideb blog on the numismatics of Sherlock Holmes. A dinner of like-minded Sherlockians will gather for dinner at the Denver convention. -Editor

The Fourth Garrideb will hold its Numismatic Friends of Sherlock Holmes dinner at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, August 2, 2017 during this year's American Numismatic Association's World's Fair of Money in Denver. Site of this year's dinner will be the Blake Street Vault, located at 1526 Blake Street in lower downtown Denver.

The Blake Street Vault is in a building erected in 1863, making it one of the oldest buildings in Denver. The restuarant features historic brick, tin ceilings, copper-topped bar, large wooden timbers, ghosts, and murals of a time long past. The vault in the basement is rumored to be haunted.

We are hoping for a larger crowd this year, as we are inviting the local group of Sherlockians to join us for good food, drink and conversation. There is no program during this event, and a few toasts will be offered. As has become a tradition, a souvenir will be issued to commemorate this entertaining event.

We do ask that you RSVP at your earliest convenience, but no later than Monday, July 31, in order to coordinate with the restaurant.

Greg adds:

Currently, we have over 25 attendees, which is more than double our largest turnout.

Money Talks Presentation On the 1794 Dollars

For researchers, bibliophiles and collectors alike is this presentation about new research on the 1794 Dollars. -Editor

Len Augsburger, Joel J. Orosz, and David Finkelstein have pooled their research, and have collaborated on a Money Talks presentation regarding the 1794 Dollars. The presentation will be on Thursday, August 3rd, at 10:00 AM, in Room 501. David Finkelstein will be presenting images of never before published Mint documents that provide a definitive understanding of:

whose silver bullion was used for coining the 1794 Dollars,

the Mint's processing of that silver bullion,

and the release of the 1794 Dollars from the Mint's treasury.

Multiple documents have been rediscovered at both the National Archives and Records Administration, and the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. These documents provide the contemporary evidence that answer the questions that have plagued numismatists for over 150 years.
