V3 2000 INDEX E-SYLUM ARCHIVE

The E-Sylum: Volume 3, Number 47, November 12, 2000, Article 16

FEATURED WEB PAGE

This week's featured web page is contributed by Henry Bergos. It's a lengthy discussion of efforts to investigate onetime "urban legends" surrounding the efforts of "Penny Whimsy" author William H. Sheldon to photograph legions of college freshmen as part of his studies of human body types. Non-numismatic, but an interesting sideline nonetheless, providing some background information about a famous numismatic author and father of the 70-point grading scale for coins.
