The E-Sylum: Volume 7, Number 10, March 7, 2004, Article 3 MENDACITY SOUGHT Myron Xenos published an article titled "Mendacity Revisited" in the latest issue of our print journal, The Asylum. It deals with a famous (among U.S. numismatic bibliophiles, anyway) 1992 hoax that had many believing that a Mother Lode of valuable U.S. numismatic literature was soon coming up for sale. The perpetrator has not come forth, and no one has yet been able to conclusively prove who it was. As one of the intended victims, I have my own theory. In his article Myron asked everyone with an opinion to share it with him for a follow-up Asylum article. Myron may be reached at: The Money Tree, 1260 Smith Court, Rocky River, OH 44116. Fax: 440-333-4463. Email: mdxenos at comcast.net. "We will hunt down the scoundrel and give him a trophy," Myron writes. I got a great laugh out of the hoax when I finally put the pieces together, and would like to congratulate the culprit myself.
