WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM NOVEMBER 18, 2007

Among our recent subscribers are Tom Michael of F+W
Publications and Joel Iskowitz of the U.S. Mint's Artistic
Infusion Program.  Welcome aboard!  We now have 1,081
subscribers.

This week we open with information on the next meeting of
NBS and reviews of '100 Greatest American Medals and Tokens'
by Katie Jaeger and Dave Bowers, and 'Money' by Joe Cribb.
In a follow-up from last week, Coin World Editor Beth Deisher
and Dick Johnson address the new magazine-style format of
Coin World.

Is Bernard von NotHaus headed for the Big House?  In the
news are multiple reports of this week's FBI raid on the
headquarters of NORFED, the group promoting the Liberty
Dollar alternate currency.    And in another numismatic
legal development, the Ancient Coin Collectors Guild and two
other organizations announced a lawsuit against the U.S.
Government over the import restrictions on ancient coins
from Cypress.  Also in the legal news department are articles
relating to the Ohio firm fighting the U.S. Mint for permission
to melt U.S. coins for profit.

Dick Johnson contributed other items this week on U.S.
coins circulating in Canada and other numismatic topics.
Bob Knepper contributes what might be the oddest numismatic
assertion yet, that the reverse side of a Lincoln Cent is
actually smaller than the obverse.  And if you'd like to
know exactly where you just might find a complete set of
Matthew Boulton's coins and medals, assembled by Boulton
himself, read on.  Have a great week, everyone.
