Remember the recurring theme in the Bil Keane cartoon Family Circus, where the oldest son Billy steps in as guest cartoonist? Well, this week my son Chris helped out with formatting several articles (he did a few last week, too). Thanks for the help!

This week we open with blockbuster results from Kolbe & Fanning's sale, two new books and a periodical, an obituary, and an item from the Newman Numismatic Portal.

Other topics this week include Chinese Sycee, the Columbian Shield, a U.S. Agricultural Society medal, dealers Smith & Son, next steps for Continental Dollar research, SS Central America territorial gold, cut and countermarked coins, U.S. Loan Certificates, coin carvers, and the return of the Quint.

To learn more about Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles, the Griqua tokens, Charlie Browne, sculptor Pol Dom, the Discovery 1943 copper cent, Labor Exchange notes, double exergues, ISIS coins, the George Cross, Nick O'Honis, and the atrocious hideousness of U.S. coinage, read on. Have a great week, everyone!
