This week we open with news from no less than three active numismatic literature dealers and one retiring numismatic librarian. Next, we have an obituary for Graham Pollard, author of the new Renaissance Medals catalog. Myron Xenos provides a review of the Canadian Numismatic Bibliography and the Wilsons offer their review of the new Whitman 'Guide Book of Lincoln Cents'.

In follow-ups to previous articles, Pete Smith and Craig McDonald comment on dealer Harold M. Hess, Karl Moulton discusses 1793 Philadelphia newspapers, Tom DeLorey provides information on varieties of the 1922 "No D" Lincoln Cent, and Martin Purdy comments on the legal tender status of Scottish banknotes.

In the news, word of a robbery of London dealers Dix, Noonan Webb has just been released, a Forbes article advocates the private printing of paper money, Venezuela revives the locha denomination and Zimbabwe reverses its decision to phase out a banknote denomination.

To learn which world mint is 100 years old this week, read on. Have a great week, everyone.
