WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM 27 MAY, 2007

Among our recent subscribers are Eric Anderson, Tony Lopez,
David Powell and Dick Grinolds.  Welcome aboard!  We now have
1,118 subscribers.

This week we open with an interesting theory proposed by Jim Hirtle
on a publishing connection between B. Max Mehl and Boston dealer
William Von Bergen.  Next, Dick Johnson reviews the new Amos Press
numismatic book catalog and Dan Freidus tells us about his new
literature exhibit at Amherst Collage.  In the news, much of the
talk is about Odyssey Marine's massive shipwreck haul.  In response
to earlier E-Sylum items, Bob Leonard discusses the infamous
'Brother Jonathan' bars, and Kerry Rodgers inquires about banknotes
featuring Michiel Adriaenszoon de Ruyter.

Next is "Wayne's London Diary", an account of my numismatic adventures
of the past week.  After that we return to some news items and other
submissions, many on a military theme.  Next up are two items on the
topic of coins as an advertising medium.  Along the way we also cover
the launch of the new John Adams dollar coin and hear about the
ceremony direct from the coin's designer, Joel Iskowitz.

Among the remaining topics are David Powell's Leaden Token Telegraph
newsletters on early British lead tokens, and some speculation on
whether coins were used to provide silver for the Manhattan Project.

This is a lengthy issue.  Next week's will likely be shorter and
published early due to my travel schedule.  Please send any
submissions early in the week.  To learn where misplaced U.S. Mint
orders end up, read on. Have a great week, everyone.
