NUMISMATIC NUGGETS: OCTOBER 7, 2018Here's a selection of interesting or unusual items I came across in the marketplace this week. Tell us what you think of some of these. -Editor French Fencing Medal   There are plenty of sports medals around, but fencing isn't often a subject. Interesting medal. -Editor To read the complete lot description, see: 1923 German 5 Billion Mark Banknote  Germany 5 billion mark banknote Now that's a large denomination note. Interesting 1920's German hyperinflation relic. -Editor To read the complete lot description, see: Alaska Palmer Correctional Center Tokens  Description: Lot of three tokens: 5c, 10c and 25c. All brass and round. The Palmer Correctional Center opened in 1983. City: Palmer State: Alaska Date: HWAC# 78553 From the upcoming Holabird sale. But why is the 10 smaller than the 5? I assume they were taking the sizes from circulating U.S. coins, and the dime (made of silver) is smaller than the nickel. -Editor To read the complete lot description, see: Dollar Bill Signed by Andy Warhol  WARHOL Andy To read the complete lot description, see: THE BOOK BAZARREWayne Homren, Editor The Numismatic Bibliomania Society is a non-profit organization promoting numismatic literature.
