The Fourth Garrideb (the coin club focusing on numismatics related to Sherlock Holmes) is trying to trace the coin collection of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. We would be interested in hearing from anyone who has a copy of the Fall 1968 price list of Manfra, Tordella, & Brookes or anyone who owns a coin pedigreed to Doyle.

I am searching for bibliographic information about William A. Wahler, a coin collector who died in 1988 and was said to have formed the most complete collection of ancient Greek Hellenistic portrait coins in private hands at the time. Please send to Arnold Tescher at athistory@aol.com. Thank you.

Assuming that you list the new subscribers in the order they subscribe, how cool is it that member 1776 is named John Hart - the same name as a New Jersey Signer of the Declaration of Independence!!!

if the coins were struck in 400 AD how can they be 2000 years old? New math???

In keeping with our numismatically-themed fast food commercials, here is another one from Burger King, this time for paper money collectors.

The encased coins comprise a 1956 proof set. The text within brackets has been largely rubbed off over the years.
