For several years David Lange has been publishing Coin Board News, an electronic newsletter for collectors of antique coin boards.
Here are some excerpts from the latest issue: Number 35 — Summer 2015. -Editor
NEW COIN BOARD PUBLISHER IN TOWN
The excitement of the 1930s lives again, as a new publisher of coin boards is offering several titles at reasonable prices. Board collector
Mark Mally has produced his own line which includes entirely new titles, such as that for Franklin Halves. I’m attaching a photo of this
board. Also available now are ones for Indian Head Cents and the complete Lincoln Cent series (three pieces). Other titles will be released
soon. Contact Mark at mallyccb@gmail.com or write to 112 W. Main Street, Stony Point, NY 10980
SHOW YOUR COIN BOARD PRIDE!
In CBN #34 I made an appeal to all readers to exhibit their coin boards at shows or other venues, and longtime reader Donald Kocken stepped
up to meet this challenge. His extensive coin board display at the recent Numismatists of Wisconsin (NOW) show in Iola drew high praise and
made many persons aware of this hobby for the first time. I’m including a couple photos of Donald and wife Marie at the show with their
exhibit. Let’s hope that others can answer the call, too.
BOOK UPDATES
For the first time since this newsletter began more than seven years ago the past quarter has produced not a single new or revised entry.
That’s not to say that more won’t be found, but the pace has certainly slowed down recently. As a consolation, I’m including with this
newsletter a photo of an Oberwise board on which his change of address from 1308 South Vermont Street to 1317 across the street was noted
by hand.
