It realized $154 including the buyer's premium, against a $100 estimate.

I hope it may be of interest with the turkey collection.
The image is one I found online - it was easier to use than John's scan. Thanks! Far more turkeys in numismatics than I'd thought!

I wonder what they'd call QDB's "A California Gold Rush History" (eleven pounds). I really enjoyed their review. Looks like a great book.

He is also working on the upgraded website for Signature Art Medals, his company with Dick Johnson. Happy New Year to you. I look forward to another 52 great issues of The E-Sylum. Chinese Copycat Dusty Royer writes: I thought your readers might find this information interesting and goes hand in hand with Howard Daniel's comments on counterfeit polymer notes. A friend of mine sold a Central Bank of Manchukuo 1yuan (P-SJ125) from 1932, on eBay. It was purchased by a "collector" in China. When he received the note, he sent my friend an email praising the condition of the note (Uncirculated) and then ask what he would buy it back for as he only needed it to make copies! As always, let the buyer beware!

Normally I don't get excited by inconsequential errors in publications. However, it has been part of the E-Sylum subculture to point these out and make a correction the next week.
This week there was a reference to Pennsylvania 6-500. I believe this is from the lyrics to a song by Glen Miler. This is often confused with Pennsylvania 6-5000 recorded by Glenn Miller.

I also liked the bit about dinner by Johnny Unitas' mother. How about dinner with Drew Brees?
