Contact me at whomren@gmail.com anytime regarding your subscription, or questions, comments or suggestions about our content.

This week we open with five new books, and updates from Whitman Publishing and the Newman Numismatic Portal.

Other topics this week include editor of The Numismatist N. Neil Harris, retired Numismatic News  editor Dave Harper, convention badges, the ANA and the ANS, an altered date Shield Nickel, the U.S. Mint's mutilated coin program, and Bulgari's coin jewellery. We won't discuss the Numismatic News Friday Edition headline "Are 1838-D Jefferson Nickels a Good Buy?", but it's too good a typo not to mention.

To learn more about Half Cents, cash coins, the Cherrypickers' Guide, coal scrip, the Countess of Durham, numismatic superheroes, collector Alonzo Wheeler, dealer Morton Stack, the Rutherford Gold Company, tobacco plantation tokens, and buyer's fee math, read on. Have a great week, everyone!
