Check out our updated numismatic literature sale calendar at the right of this article (at the top of each full issue). Dealers Kolbe & Fanning have scheduled their sales #149 and #150 for April 28 and July 14, respectively. Alan Workman, the Florida bookseller who acquired the numismatic literature business of the late Fred Lake, will hold his first sale with a planned closing date of May 19th. Use this link to get on his email list for announcements: http://eepurl.com/r3muv . Alan writes:

As it stands right now, this sale is going to have a large number of books on banking history, NY county histories, paper money, U.S. coinage, ancients, treasure, and pirates. Should be something for everyone! My goal is to have my website updated and the auction uploaded to iCollector by the middle of April.

This week we open with two numismatic literature sales, one new book, a call for information, and word of a major rare book theft.

Other topics this week include the Starburst Effect, the Cape Cod Canal medal, bullion coins, double eagles, the Whitman Baltimore Coin Expo, the U.S. Mint, and Venezuela's coin and banknote changes.

Also, Arash Ilavia submitted an original article on obverse varieties of the British India George VI Quarter Annas of 1938 and 1939.

To learn more about the W. W. C. Wilson collection, gold as contraband, the Mount Vernon Club, engraved portraits of Washington, left-handed riflemen, the Selinos tetradrachm, William and Charles Barber, Redbook cookies, and Howard Daniel's Vietnamese Money Wallet, read on. Have a great week, everyone!
