NBS PLANS FOR 2004 PITTSBURGH ANA

  As announced at the NBS meeting at this year's ANA
  convention in Baltimore, plans are underway for a special
  outing to celebrate our 25th anniversary at next year's
  convention here in Pittsburgh.   We'll visit the E-Sylum
  Ground Zero (my library), as well as the numismatic libraries
  of Asylum Editor E. Tomlinson Fort and the Carnegie Library
  of Pittsburgh.  The latter features the rare first six volumes of
  the ANA's Numismatist magazine, and a shelf of early U.S.
  copper literature from the library of George H. Clapp.

  Separately, if there is enough interest, we may be able to
  arrange a viewing of selected coins from the Carnegie
  collection, which includes Clapp's Large Cent collection,
  some colonials, and some U.S. patterns.  The colonials
  include three Higley coppers (at least two of which are
  likely copies).   Although the bibliophile excursion would
  be limited to NBS members, the coin excursion would be
  open to all ANA members.

  We are currently looking into costs for chartering buses,
  and to gauge demand for these two events, I'd like all
  SERIOUSLY interested readers to respond to this e-mail.
  Please don't respond simply to agree that it's a great
  idea;  respond only if you would be willing to commit
  an entire afternoon of the convention to the outing and
  pay your fair share of the cost in advance.  Please
  specify interest in the BOOK trip, the COIN trip, or
  BOTH.   The convention is August 18-22, 2004.  The
  book trip would be Friday the 20th, following our
  normal general NBS meeting.  No date has been set for
  the coin trip, but it has to be on a weekday during regular
  museum hours.   I'll look forward to hearing from many
  of you.
