WAYNE'S WORDS

Among our recent subscribers are Karen and Jim Jach of Milwaukee WI,
courtesy of John and Nancy Wilson, Radford Stearns of Stone Mountain,
GA, courtesy of Sam Deep, and David Yost.  Welcome aboard!  We now
have 1,068 subscribers.

This week's issue opens with news of a lawsuit of special interest to
bibliophiles and authors - it concerns plagiarism and copyrights in
numismatic auction catalog descriptions.  Next, W. David Perkins shares
the story of a rare numismatic pamphlet, and the ANA issues a call for
papers for the Maynard Sundman/Littleton Coin Co. Lecture Series.

In the news this week, media across the country covered the debut of
the new U.S. dollar coins.  The stories all look alike after a while,
but a newspaper in Kingston, N.Y. took an interesting local angle, 
interviewing a Woodstock artist whose designs will appear in the series.

Also in the news is continued discussion of the possible elimination
of the cent coin, in the U.S. and now Canada as well.  In the research
department, two old topics have generated new information, on the extant
specimens of D.B. Cooper hijacking loot notes and the whereabouts of the
Robinson S. Brown Conder token collection.  Finally, to learn why the
B. Max Mehl building is in the news again, read on. Have a great week, everyone.
