The E-Sylum: Volume 11, Number 14, April 6, 2008, Article 1 WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM APRIL 6, 2008 We have no new subscribers this week - our current count is 1,142. We open with news of a numismatic literature dealer returning to the fold. Also, I review the Robert Bass Collection book from Kagin's, and Mike Paradis tells us about a rare pamphlet on the New Orleans Mint which recently sold at auction. Next, a web site visitor discovers our earlier articles on Scovill Manufacturing, where her father and a family friend worked, and Howard Berlin reports on his numismatic travels in Denmark and Sweden. Next are follow-ups on last week's April Fool's story. I just wish I'd been able to dream up something to catch my wife on this year. The best one was when I called her up before our wedding and told her a friend of mine had just called and said the hall we’d booked for our wedding reception was on fire, with three fire crews working to put it out. She had a bird. In responses to earlier items, we have information on Arras tokens and numismatists Bob Wester and William A. Philpott, Jr. In the news, charges are dropped against a Liberty Dollar proponent in Lancaster, the Royal Mint unveils new reverse designs for Britain's circulating coinage, and the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio accepts a donation of Short-Snorter bank notes. To learn about the ATM that went haywire, which country's coins will NOT feature a 'voluptuous female torso', and which U.S. Mint employee is called The Big Cheese, read on. Have a great week, everyone. Wayne Homren Numismatic Bibliomania Society Wayne Homren, Editor The Numismatic Bibliomania Society is a non-profit organization promoting numismatic literature.
