WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM JUNE 12, 2011
Among our new subscribers this week is WJC Mearns. Welcome aboard! We now have 1,430 email subscribers, plus 145 followers on Facebook, including Jeff Oseth and Allan Speedy. This week we open with an update on planned NBS events at this summer's Chicago ANA convention, updates on literature sales from Ray Czahor, Fred Lake and George Kolbe, and announcements and reviews on three books. Also, this issue brings sad news of the loss of a longtime NBS member and the serious injuries sustained by a member of the international numismatic community. Other topics include reminiscences of Al Hoch, Harry Bass and Frank Katen, a hoard of checks from the first Denver Mint, a new "California Gold" controversy over a whopping nine-pound nugget. Was someone telling a whopper? To learn about gold depository checks, Henry Janvier's trip to China, the Numismatic Cabinet of the Municipality of Milan, Harry Bass' sense of humor, the "big lie" about U.S. counterfeiting, an unusual 1972 Kennedy half dollar and Eric Newman's lovely young wife, read on. Have a great week, everyone!
