WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM JANUARY 15, 2017

As noted last week, due to travel this week's issue was delayed a day. It's also smaller than usual, and I apologize to everyone whose content didn't make it in this time. I'm still in catch-up mode but hope to make progress before next Sunday's issue.

New subscribers this week include: Harry Eichman, courtesy of Dave Bowers; Melissa Karstedt, courtesy of Wayne Homren; Nico Verhoef, courtesy of Matin Kaplan; Rick Wolfe, courtesy of Dave Hirt; Barbara Bailey, Steve Bourassa, Michael Carl, Dale Carlson, Tom Corey, Riley Dahlin, Donald Hanson, David Haugstad, Rob Leach, Sylvia Mann, John Misczuk, Rob Schwein, Jon Seehusen, John Shea and Stephen Timmel. Welcome aboard! We now have 2,064 subscribers.

Wow! Many of these new subscribers likely came as a result of Ron Guth's nice writeup about us last week. Thanks! We hope you enjoy The E-Sylum. Feel free to write to me anytime at whomren@gmail.com if you have any problems, questions, comments or contributions. We'd love to hear from you.

This week we open with one new book, a new periodical, and some interesting U.S. Mint ephemera on the Newman Numismatic Portal.

Other topics this week include Chicago dealer Archie Doherty, Presidential Inaugural medals, a diverse set of auction lots, the Colchis Light Stater, D.B. Cooper's tie, gold coin stashes, and the coins of Malta.

To learn more about the Acanthus Leaf, torculadora work, Eric Newman's homemade coin board, the resignation of the old coppers, Stuart Gwynn and Spencer Clark, and the New York State Poultry Society Medal, read on. Have a great week, everyone!
