MORE ON THE BANK OF NEW YORK FUGIO CENT HOARDNewman Numismatic Portal Project Coordinator Len Augsburger also provided the following preview of a new acquisition. -Editor
The Eric P. Newman research files constantly reveal pleasant surprises, such as this February 1977 issue of Bank One, a tabloid-size newspaper published for the staff of the Bank of New York. Such publications, intended for company-internal distribution only, were generally not saved and are elusive. This issue includes two attention-grabbing images depicting piles of Fugio cents. Clearly the coins were not handled with state of the art museum practices, but the allure of a large pile of highly collectible colonial coins is captivating.
 Newman Portal will scan the entire article once we have access to our large format scanner. Thanks to Lianna Spurrier for processing these images, which were captured in parts. Images: front cover and centerfold of the February, 1977 issue of Bank One. A cringeworthy but still cool photo, like the silver dollar pour discussed last week. -Editor To read the earlier E-Sylum article, see:
