The E-Sylum:  Volume 6, Number 12, March 23, 2003, Article 12

FEATURED WEB PAGE

  This week's featured web page is suggested by Chris Fuccione,
  who writes: "I found this on building and maintaining a numismatic
  library."

  The page is from the web site of the Chicago Coin Club (scroll
  down to view the article).  The paper was presented by Phil
  Carrigan and Carl Wolf at the club's February 12, 2003 meeting.

  "Phil started the program with a 1951 quote from P.O. Sigler
  concluding "... that a collector may dispose of all or a major part
  of his collection during his lifetime, but that his coin books are
  sold by his executor." That is a great way to summarize the
  transition from just acquiring numismatic items to studying those
  items and the conditions that produced them. One result of the
  search for more information is a stack of books, pamphlets,
  articles, and other material; the start of a numismatic library. "

  Coincidentally, the page also includes a paper titled "The Role
  of State Bonds on the Economic Development of the United
  States, 1800-1900", presented by the late Douglas Ball at the
  club's February 22, 2003 meeting.
