WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM NOVEMBER 27, 2016

New subscribers this week include: Rich Hollow. Welcome aboard! We now have 2,040 subscribers.

Thanks to John Mutch for sending some new information about San Francisco Mint superintendent George B. Gillin to Bruce Smith, in response to his request last week. Also, Dennis Tucker put me in touch with the San Francisco Mint inventory manager and historian, who may be able to shed some light as well.

Arthur Shippee reported a problem with the table of contents links in recent issues. Anyone else? And how about the Back to Top links? I've seen it happen where only the first so-many links will work, and I'm not sure if it's just a browser issue or something we could fix on our end. If you experience problems, please contact me at whomren@gmail.com.

This week we open with one new book, three reviews, some Newman Portal holiday research, and a new digitization project at the Smithsonian's National Numismatic Collection.

Other topics this week include fore-edge painting in a numismatic book, two-part medals, Harold Whitneck, Erik Goldstein, Arthur Friedberg, Marcus Aurelius, coin found far from home, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Trump Dollar.

To learn more about early mints in British North America, 1717 Perpignan coppers, Vietnam Military club tokens and chits, Comitia Americana medals, coin folders as banquet programs, overstruck Russian copper undertypes, the Eliasberg 1802 Half Dime, and Sir Robert Robinson's medals, read on. Have a great week, everyone!
