MOULTON MAY 2006 NUMISMATIC LITERATURE FIXED PRICE LIST PUBLISHED

Karl Moulton has issued his May 2006 Numismatic Literature Fixed
Price List.  In his foreword Karl writes: "This fixed price list
is strong in all areas of American numismatic literature.  There
are numerous hardbound catalogues available, including some scarce
early copper sales by Superior.  Also, check out one of the finest
offerings of Max Mehl sales..."

Karl adds: "Recently I was contacted by a television producer and
asked to provide some images and background history about early
U.S. Mint operations.  The show "Modern Marvels" will present
another installment about American money in the near future on the
history channel.  He related that present day employees of the
Treasury Department had very little information to provide -- and
that it was painfully slow in arriving, and incomplete in its
coverage.  I related that the government doesn't have that much
U.S. Mint history available, nor do they have staff to accommodate
background requests.  That's because it's all in numismatic
literature -- which they don't have!"
