WAYNE's WORDS

Among our recent subscribers are Bob Gilbert, Henry Hurley, and
Mitch Ernst, courtesy of Samuel Ernst. Welcome aboard!  We now
have 988 subscribers.

This week's issue brings another new book announcement, this time
on the coins and paper money of Israel.  A scarce book on Belgian
World War I medals has been identified, and another rare set of
Hugo Semmler's numismatic postcards has been reported.  In the
rumor department, we address some of the flurry this week regarding
the fate of The Gallery Mint.

Queries this week include a question on the Whipple Dollar, a request
for photos of seasonal metallic baseball passes, and information on
J. Hewitt Judd.

Since the Halloween season is upon us, we have a couple items
relating to numismatics and gravestones.  Finally, in the "you don't
see that every day" department, a Colorado man pays his taxes in gold
coin and a very heavily corroded cent helps a man win a case in court.
To learn about the Case of the Sulfurous Sewer, read on.  Have a
great week, everyone!
