NOTES FROM E-SYLUM READERS: JUNE 22, 2014

Correction: Colonel Green
Ron Guth writes:

Harvey Stack meant Colonel Green, but Colonial Green sounds like a great name for a coin business.

Good catch. I missed the typo in Harvey's blog article which called him "Colonial Green"! Perhaps another case of autocorrect gone bad. Thanks also to Bill Eckberg. -Editor

Walter Breen's Degree
Back in December 2009, Michael E. Marotta asked:

Was Breen's master's degree in music or in sociology or something else?

Walter Breen's daughter Moira writes:

His Master’s degree was in sociology. He failed his Ph.D orals.

More on the Arches Quarter Design
Chip Howell writes:

BTW, am I the only one who sees the "Arches" quarter & is reminded of Robert Crumb's "Keep on Truckin'" cartoon? It probably says something deeply disturbing about me...

Now I'm seeing it, too. That IS disturbing... -Editor

1947 Stack's Lee Sale Postcard
Last week Fred Michaelson attended a dinner meeting of my numismatic social group, Nummis Nova. He brought along some numismatic ephemera, and I didn't have time to mention this item last week. It's a 1947 postcard from Stack's promoting the Lee sale of October 2-4, 1947. Thanks for the images.

I've never seen this item before. Neat piece of ephemera, illustrating an 1894-S dime and other rarities.

The City of Taipei, Taiwan
Ken Berger writes:

I read the Stack's Bowers Formosa Ration Dollar article in The E-Sylum and it mentions the City of Taiwan. I lived in Taiwan for 5 years, and there is no city named Taiwan. There is Taipei (the capital), Taichung, Tainan & Taitung. Taiwan is the name of the island (i.e. the Province). I believe the article should have said the city of Taipei.
