NBS AT THE PITTSBURGH ANA CONVENTION

  Asylum Editor E. Tomlinson Fort writes: "As has been
  mentioned here before there will be a strong NBS presence
  at this year's American Numismatic Association Convention
  in Pittsburgh:

  First and foremost is The Great Numismatic Libraries of
  Pittsburgh Tour. This will be your chance to see the libraries
  of Wayne Homren (The E-Sylum editor) - a treasure trove
  of American numismatic literature, and Tom Fort (The Asylum
  editor) - a hoard of literature on the history and coinages of
  pre-modern Europe. Space is limited. There will be no second
  bus. Remember, you are going to people's houses and there is
  not room for a large crowd.  So get your ticket now before the
  tour sells out.  The tour is only open to NBS members
  (exceptions can be made in the cases of spouses etc...) and is
  $20 per person. Remember all proceeds benefit the NBS.
  Tickets are sold on a first come, first served basis. Send your
  payment NBS via:

  W. David Perkins
  NBS Secretary-Treasurer
  P.O. Box 3888
  Littleton, CO  80161-3888
  email: wdperki at attglobal.net

  [The Libraries Tour immediately follows the NBS meeting,
  which Tom describes next. -Editor]

  Secondly, there is the NBS 25th anniversary meeting, which
  will be held on Friday, August 20, at 11.30 am in Meeting
  Room 327. Among the activities will be the auctioning of many
  of the signed original manuscripts of the articles which will be
  appearing in our special Summer issue. Likewise we will auction
  the corrected proofs of the monograph.  Each proof signed by
  the person who read it, along with the back up CDs and emails
  and letters regarding the making of the issue. This will be your
  chance to own a piece of numismatic literary history.

  Also at the meeting will be the annual auction to benefit the
  NBS; more on this in a later issue of The E-Sylum.

  Finally, three prominent members of the NBS will be presenting
  Numismatic Theater lectures this year.  Primary among these is
  NBS board member P. Scott Rubin, with his talk: "50 Years of
  Collecting Coins and Numismatic Literature." on Thursday
  August 19, at 1 p.m., in Room 330. Likewise, NBS board
  member Joel Orosz will be presenting a very interesting lecture
  entitled "Did George Washington Provide Silver to Make the
  1792 Half-Dimes?"  on Saturday August 21 at 5 p.m. in Room
  330. Finally, the latest cure for insomnia many be experienced
  at Asylum editor E. Tomlinson Fort's "Barbarians Within the
  Gates: David I of Scotland and the Mints of Northern  England."
  on Wednesday August 18th in Room 330."
