WAYNE'S WORDS

Among our recent subscribers are Douglas Whenry, courtesy of John
Eshbach, Len Bailey and Mike Hegarty.  Welcome aboard!  We now have
1,082 subscribers.

My ISP must be having some problems today - I haven't been able to
get incoming email.  My apologies for any late-arriving submissions
that didn't make it into this issue.

This week's issue covers a typical mix of topics, beginning with
Chris Hoelzle's new auction catalog list, Whitman Publishing's activities
at the upcoming ANA convention in Charlotte, and a new book on the
numismatics of the former Yugoslavian states.   Research queries this
week involve the Fonrobert sale, numismatics of the Virgin Mary and
the deluxe leatherbound edition of Beistle on U.S. Half Dollar
varieties.

Also of interest to numismatic bibliophiles and researchers is the new
PCGS Research Archive, which holds online versions of some important
numismatic publications.  Our own numismatic archive of past E-Sylum
issues has been found this week by descendants of numismatic personalities
Donald Miller and Adam and Jacob Eckfeldt, generating some interesting
submissions.

In international news, Howard Berlin reports on his recent visits to
numismatic museums in Athens, and Ralf Boepple forwards a great article
on the recent regional currencies of Germany.  And to learn what silver
coins have to do with Jamaican birth rituals, read on.  Have a great
week, everyone.
