The E-Sylum:  Volume 9, Number 9, February 26, 2006, Article 1

WAYNE's WORDS

Among our recent subscribers is Bruce Paulhamus.  Welcome aboard!
We now have 863 subscribers.

This week we have a lengthy issue with lots of news on new and
old books, and some remembrances of literature dealer Art Rubino.
A "lucky coin" is found in a medieval ship wreckage, and I've got
a question about the popularity of Mardi Gras Doubloons.

Dick Johnson chimes in with articles on die preservation in museums,
and his proposal on medal grading.  We also have some interesting
questions relating to the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corporation
(ARRC) tokens, and additional information and criticism on the
Olympic medals.  Numismatic researcher Katie Jaeger offers some
updates to her February 2006 Numismatist article on American
Institute. Finally, we discuss numismatic books on CD and reveal
the answer to last week's quiz question, who was Ken L. Rosenbaum?
Have a great week, everyone.
