GENERAL MORELOS ISSUES
Bob Dunfield writes: "Thank you for the very entertaining and
informational E-Sylum newsletter! I look forward to reading it,
and keeping copies for the information and addresses, etc.
(The 'Dumb and Dumber' entry was hilarious!, although very
sad, in a way).
I am continuing research on the 8 Reales "SUD" issues of
General Morelos and his Captains. At this point, I have many
references, including the very informative hardbound 'The Julius
Guttag Collection of Latin American Coins', arranged by Edgar
Adams, a Quarterman publication, copyright 1929, reprinted
in 1974. There are many photos, and descriptions of coins
without photos, and I think, one of the first attempts to catalog
the 8 Reales copper SUD coins by die variety, and approximate
the date of manufacture. It is an excellent reference book. I would,
however, like to ask the members if they might have any sale
catalogues that they might wish to sell, or recommend, especially
those that have pictures and descriptions of the 8 Reales SUD
pieces, in copper, and especially those coins struck or cast in
silver. Anything recommended or offered for sale would be
greatly appreciated! Many thanks, "

new illustrations of coins, my article in the Spring 1996 issue
of The Asylum (Vol. XIV, Nos. 2-4, pp19-23) discusses the
pamphlet "Sketch of the Coinage of the Mexican Revolutionary
General Morelos Based upon an Important Find", by Lyman
Low (1886) ]
