The E-Sylum:  Volume 10, Number 5, February 4, 2007, Article 1

WAYNE'S WORDS

Among our recent subscribers are François Velde and Pascal Brock.
Welcome aboard!  We now have 1,060 subscribers.

This issue opens with an announcement of George Kolbe's 102nd sale
of numismatic literature, and a note from Myron Xenos about his
consignment of antiquarian numismatic literature.  Next up is word
from Karl Moulton that pre-publication orders are now being taken
for his new book on Henry Voigt.

Karl also takes a position you might not expect for a dealer in
printed numismatic literature, advocating that auction houses switch
to digital media. Speaking of media, we learn that a new television
program is in the works on the topic of the 1933 Double Eagle.

Our discussions on U.S. medallic literature continue, including an
announcement on a planned update to the classic Hibler-Kappen
'So-Called Dollars' book.  Other topics include tampered-with U.S.
encased postage stamps, research material on Nazi counterfeiting in
WWII, notes on recent numismatic periodicals, and an 1865 Medal of
Honor saved years ago from a scrap metal drive.

A little birdie told me that former American Numismatic Association
Executive Director Ed Rochette will be 80 years old on February 17
- Happy Birthday!

To learn which numismatic author has a connection to 'Tubby the Tuba'
and Meredith Vieira, read on.  Have a great week, everyone.
