NOTES AND CORRECTIONS
Joe Boling writes:About Eric Newman's new book: you report "features
up-to-date pricing by Stuart Levine in the highest grades currently
available." I have not seen the book yet, so I don't know how the values
are presented, but if it's only for AU and better notes, I'd just as soon
they had not bothered. How about values for the grades that collectors of
this material actually collect?
I haven't seen the book yet myself, but the previous
edition did list prices in lower grades such as Good, Very Good, and Fine.

Joe also correctly noted a problem in last week's reprint of
passages from Some Reflections Upon Being Fifty Years a Coin
Collector by R.W. McLachlan. He writes:
But what was supposed to be in this passage about the
gold coins coming into Canada? "exchanged at not more than 548 each.
Numerous U.S. 55, $10, and $20 goldpieces arrived, too,..." What are 548
and 55? $48 and $5 perhaps?
Dan Gosling confirms that the text should read "$48" and
"$5", respectively. I suspect the original article was scanned and
converted using OCR (optical character recognition), and the dollar signs
($) were misinterpreted as 5's. Sorry for the confusion! -Editor

That is a great idea, peddling your duplicates by
pedaling to get around at a large show. If someone took a picture of you
on your bike, please share it with the E-Sylum readership.
OK, there
was no bike, and I was only peddling, not pedaling. But if I DID have a
bike, it would have looked like this: Wayne Homren, Editor
