WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM OCTOBER 7, 2007

Among our recent subscribers are Jim Bulmer and Roger Pabian,
courtesy of Larry Lee, and Anthony Lingner.  Welcome aboard!
We now have 1,189 subscribers.

This week we open with the announcement of the David F.
Fanning Numismatic Literature seventh Fixed Price List and
an update from Fred Lake on the latest Lake Books sale of
numismatic literature.   Next, Richard Doty reviews a new
book on counterfeiting in the U.S. and Dick Johnson reviews
the recent FIDEM Congress exhibition catalog.

Next up are announcements of no less than three new numismatic
books from Whitman Publishing, plus an update on the nearly
complete Canadian Numismatic Bibliography project.  Next, I
pose a question about what is to me, at least, the greatest
outstanding mystery surrounding the cataloging of the John J.
Ford collection by Stack's.

In follow-ups from latest week's death announcements we have
extensive reader reminiscences on Joseph Veach Noble and Arlie
Slabaugh.  In the news this week are the opening of a film
about the WWII Nazi 'Operation Bernhard' counterfeiting operation,
the arrest of dangerous Glasgow counterfeiter "Hologram Tam",
and the cancelation of the ANA's plans for a Washington, D.C.
numismatic museum.

To read about the politically incorrect 'Darky and Watermelon'
coin bank and the Quasi Universal Intergalactic Denomination
coins, read on.  Have a great week, everyone.
