I've been lending a hand helping Jim Skwarek publish his book, The Encased Coins of Wisconsin. Jim is a collector and dealer from Milwaukee and has been working on this project for years. While it is certainly
geared toward Wisconsin collectors, I think the idea of cataloging and attributing encased coins might appeal to collectors universally. I have not heard of any other book on encased coins on such a scale as this.
Attached is the announcement we ran in the NOW NEWS spring issue under our BOOKS! department.
Thanks. Here's the announcement. These efforts are well deserving of collector and community support. Wisconsin's book provides a great example to other state group cataloging efforts.
