The E-Sylum: Volume 6, Number 32, August 10, 2003, Article 15 FROM COIN HOLDERS TO COIN ART Mr. Anonymous wrote: "Okay. Dave Lange got in the last word last week. (But adding the state of Maryland is for sale, over and above the governor in that little satire the week before, added a ninth Degree of Separation -- from ?coin.?) What if, instead of collecting albums, bags, et al, we tuned our numismatic concentration inward. What six Degrees -- from ?coin? -- would we find in the opposite direction? Coin - Metal Composition - Striking - Dies - Engraving - Artists - Art. If you studied one of these six Degrees wouldn't this be of more numismatic importance than coin albums? One book, one author, did just that! ?Numismatic Art in America? by Cornelius Vermeule. I even like this book's subtitle: ?Aesthetics of the United States Coinage.?
