WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM NOVEMBER 13, 2016New subscribers this week include: Shaun Hughes, Jim Weber and Kendall Bailey. Welcome aboard! We now have 2,035 subscribers. Tonight's issue is a whopper. Last week the Baltimore show and family events kept me from including several additional articles. This week the Veteran's Day holiday returned some time to me, and I've largely caught up. Enjoy. This week we open with sad news about a pioneer of the Numismatic Bibliomania Society, followed by a great book sale, two new books, a coin folder discovery and a new auction catalog run for the Newman Numismatic Portal. Other topics this week include the ANS Gala, die terminology at the early U.S. Mint, dealer W. Elliot Woodward, collector Charles Shillaber, 1799 cents, rare double eagles, Colonial and satirical Hard Times notes, gold medals for Cyrus Field and a Milwaukee Hero, the School of Engraving, the Royal Mint's new pound coin, and news from around the world about new and withdrawn coins and banknotes. To learn more about the Grinnell collection, head dies, contemporary counterfeit coins, a coin-themed rubbish bin, the Battle of Fort Sullivan, Andrew Jackson in drag, dung beetle Benton, the Tuskegee Congressional Gold Medal, the East Florida Proclamation Medal, demonetized Rupees, the Curse of Cash and curses upon book thieves, read on. Have a great week, everyone!
