MPC GRAM CELEBRATES ISSUE #1000

  Congratulations to our fellow numismatic e-newsletter,
  the MPC Gram, which just celebrated its 1,000th issue.
  Back issues of the publication are archived on the net at:
  http://www.papermoneyworld.net/grams/index.htm

  In the 1,000th issue, editor Fred Schwan asks:
  "How significant is 1000 issues of a numismatic publication?
  I think that only three American periodicals have had more
  issues: The Numismatist, Numismatic News, and Coin
  World (in order of founding). TN was founded in 1893.
  At twelve issues per year, something like 1340 issues have
  been published. They are in range. We should be able to
  catch them in 2004. At more than 2500 issues each NN
  and Coin World are by far the leaders. It will take six years
  to catch them! (Hopefully a bibliophile will set us straight on
  the exact status of the leaders in this area."

  [The Numismatist began in 1888, actually.  The E-Sylum
  has been around longer than the 'Gram (started September
  1998 vs April 2000 for the 'Gram), but as a weekly publication
  (vs near-daily for the 'Gram), The E-Sylum has only 258
  numbers (including this one) under its belt.
