WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM MARCH 9, 2008

Among our recent subscribers are David Deep, courtesy of Sam
Deep, and Kate Pennington of the Maine Antique Digest.  Welcome
aboard!  We now have 1,123 subscribers.

This week we open with a reminder about the current Lake Books
sale and communications from numismatists in Croatia and Argentina.
Next, we have an important query from the Acting Executive Director
of the ANA, and word that a new Executive Director has been chosen.

Responses to earlier articles include discussions of Federal
Reserve Notes autographed by the Treasurer or Secretary of the
Treasury, and a great account from George Fuld on the
deaccessioning of U.S. colonial coins from the Garrett collection.
Queries this week include topics such as California numismatist
Charles M. Johnson.

Other numismatic personalities discussed this week include
Joe Fitzgerald and Nikola Tesla. In the news we have word of
a major international acquisition in the numismatic field,
and medals, medals, medals: suspects in the New Zealand meal
theft, Prince Harry's new medal, and a controversy over
Germany's Iron Cross.

To learn what a polar bear devouring a man on a raft has
to do with numismatics, read on. Have a great week, everyone.
