NOTES FROM E-SYLUM READERS: AUGUST 25, 2013

On the E-Sylum 2013 NLG Awards
Eric Schena writes:

Congratulations on the E-Sylum's awards - they truly are well earned and deserved! I cannot imagine producing such a comprehensive and consistently amazing publication like that on a weekly basis. It's always a must-read for me every Sunday.

Fred Michaelson writes:

CONGRATULATIONS for having the brains, the knowledge, and the drive and motivation to run an award-winning and very unique operation!!

Discounts on the New Jersey State Coppers Book
A reader asked about the availability of the pre-publication discount for the new book on New Jersey State Coppers. I checked with Joanne Isaac at the American Numismatic Society, who writes:

The member price of $165 is being offered to ANS and C-4 members - as the ANS and C-4 are co-publisher of New Jersey Coppers.

So while members of the Colonial Coin Collectors Club (C4) are eligible for the discount, other club members such as Early American Coppers (EAC) members are not (unless they are also members of ANS, C4, or both).

A Note on the Goetz Dies
Regarding their recent sale of Goetz dies, Michael Peplinski of Heritage Auctions writes:

“I was recently contacted by Henry Goodman at KarlGoetz.com about a discrepancy in my note published in your newsletter a while back. I mentioned that the Goetz dies were purchased from the Goetz family recently, which was incorrect. Actually, the dies were purchased from the Goetz family many years ago, but were recently consigned to our sale by their owner. As a reminder to interested collectors, Part II of the Goetz Medal Die Archive consisting of 338 dies will be available for bidding in the Heritage September Long Beach Auction.”

Attribution Sought for Crookshanks Barbershop Token
Lloyd Wagner writes:

I have a mystery barbershop(?) token. I cannot find any attribution for this piece, and thought your readers might recognize it. Thanks for any help.

Maverick tokens lacking a place name can be quite hard to attribute. Internet searching can sometimes help, but you need to look in a lot of local directories to find a possible match. Common names like Smith or Jones are usually a lost cause. But a name like "A. L. Crookshanks" is likely to appear in one and only one town. But which town? Can anyone help? Thanks. -Editor
