FOUND IN A COIN BOOK

  Speaking of things found in books, Bill Murray writes:
  "The following item was sort of buried in COIN WORLD,
  and I doubt many read it:

  "John Andrew, reporting on a London auction in COIN
  WORLD's June 28th issue, noted only one book was
  offered, Snelling's British Coins. He writes, "It is not the
  volume itself that is of interest, but a four-page handwritten
  note it contains.  Dated 1756, it is addressed 'To the
  Curious' and deals with the value of coins.  It points out
  that a coin's value 'depends much on its preservation,
  but more on the Generosity of the purchaser'"
