Author Weimar White published a short item in the June 2012 issue of The E-Gobrecht ( The Electronic Newsletter of the LIBERTY SEATED COLLECTORS CLUB). A new edition of his Coin Chemistry book is available. E-Gobrecht editor Bill Bugert included a note about his experience with the book. -Editor

My publisher is now selling the third edition of my book entitled Coin Chemistry. It has three additional articles in it. The 2nd edition was a best seller but this latest edition will be my last edition. It has a soft cover and a very attractive 1893-CC Gold Half Eagle pictured on the cover. The book I understand will sell for less than $13. This would be a great addition to your library or a nice gift to present to your collector friends. My publisher is Dave Aultman and he can be reached at 1-585- 924-4250, ext. 300.

[Editor's Comment: Weimar's book is very useful and should be in every collector's library. Among other items, he discusses techniques for safely removing harmful contaminates from a coin's surfaces. I can attest to the merits of these techniques as I have used them as detailed in the second edition to remove heavy, thick tarnish from some unattractive coins.]
