Your Editor will be on the road the next two weekends, traveling for a family vacation. As a result, the upcoming issues may be
abbreviated or late. But keep your email submissions coming in the meantime, and thanks for your patience.
This week we open with a note from numismatic literature dealer Fred Lake, three new books, and updates on the Whitman photo contest and
the John Burns traveling numismatic library.
Other topics include the planned woman's portrait for the $10 bill, the Massachusetts Statehouse time capsule, numismatic museums in
Dresden, Copenhagen and Scotland, famous names on obsolete banknotes, a CIA medal, and coins in Don Quixote.
To learn more about Kushan coinage, sample slab collecting, the George G. Evans Gift Book Store, J.L. Berch and the runaway slave girl,
Napoleon Bounaparte banknotes and the Wildcat Bank of Tinkerville, read on. Have a great week, and Happy Father's Day, Dads!
