DAVID LANGE'S COIN COLLECTING BOARDS BOOK COMPLETED

David Lange writes: "My coin board book has been completed, and I've
updated my website to include sample pages (see link below). The actual
title is 'Coin Collecting Boards of the 1930s & 1940s: A Complete
History, Catalog and Value Guide.'

"I'm absolutely delighted with the completed work. The book's design
is by Mary Jo Meade, who did such a great job with my U.S. Mint history
book. This time, however, she got to work with color. In fact, there
are 62 color pages out of total of 220.

"I've thoroughly researched the companies and people who produced
these vintage coin boards, so there's a lot of meaty stuff for people
who like to read about the hobby's history. Most of the people in the
coin board business were not in the mainstream of numismatics, so there
will be a lot of new discoveries for readers, though with just enough
familiar names to put everything in context.

"I'm still shopping around for a printer, so I'm unable to announce
the book's selling price at this time. I hope to have that matter
resolved in a week or two. In the meantime, I'll have a working copy
of my book at next week's Baltimore show. Anyone who'd like to have
a preview is welcome to see me at the NGC table."

[This is great news.  Dave's book will fill a wide void in the literature
of the numismatic hobby in the U.S.  I'm another one of the children
who grew up pushing coins into holes in Whitman coin folders.  They hold
great memories for me, and I still have them in my collection.  -Editor]
