NOTES FROM E-SYLUM READERS: MARCH 3, 2019

Query: Guttag New York Storecard Sought
Robert Rightmire writes:

Does any reader have this Guttag storecard with "GUTTAG BROS./ NEW YORK" on the obverse (as shown in the ad: The Numismatist, June, 1927, p. 380)?

ANS-1927.64.5.obv.330

Guttag ad Numismatis-1927s

Can anyone help? -Editor

Query: Richmond, VA Encased Coin Info Sought

oval_richmond encased cent

Bruce Perdue writes:

I am updating my website encasedcoins.info and am trying to identify the legend on an oval encased I bought on eBay a couple of years ago. It has the following legend around the reverse of the 1948 s cent.

"State Grand Lodge NO. 6 \ I.O. of G.S. and D. of S / Sixth & Duval Ste. \ Richmond, VA."

( I.O. of G.S. and D. of S.) could be the International Order of Girl Scouts...and D. of S? Grand Lodge brings to mind Masons, but I can not find a State Lodge No. 6 in Richmond, Va. The address appears to no longer exist using Google Maps. There are cross streets for 5th and 7th. No 6th. The obverse has a traditional "Good Luck" legend and a wishbone, a four leaf clover and horseshoe. I'm just wondering if any readers might know more?

Attributing maverick tokens can be tough. Can anyone help? -Editor

Cecil and Charles
Regarding Brooklyn coin club President Cecil "Charles" Ryan, Michael Wehner writes:

A good non-numismatic friend of mine passed away at 94 recently. He always went by Chuck, but his real name was Cecil. So the leap to Charles is not too hard to imagine.

Compugrade Box
Kellen Hoard writes:

I recently was fortunate enough to acquire and then sell what I believe is the first known slab box from the now defunct grading service Compugrade. Compugrade's holders are tremendously popular among slab collectors, so I knew that the box would be popular also. It features Compugrade's logo on the top and is in overall excellent shape with a few bumps on the corners. I believe the price I sold it before blasts past the previous record price for a slab box.

Cool find! -Editor
