WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM JULY 26, 2020

New subscribers this week include: David Weidgenannt of the Institute for Numismatics and Monetary History at the University of Vienna; Bob Campbell, Steve Hatfield, Peter Jones, Gary Pierson and hundreds of other former ANA Edition readers. While we no longer publish an edition to members of the American Numismatic Association, the ANA kindly invited those readers to subscribe here, and they did in droves, at a rate sometimes as high as 2 or 3 per minute. Welcome aboard! We now have 6,483 subscribers.

Thank you for reading The E-Sylum. If you enjoy it, please send me the email addresses of friends you think may enjoy it as well and I'll send them a subscription. Contact me at whomren@gmail.com anytime regarding your subscription, or questions, comments or suggestions about our content.

This week we open with a numismatic literature sale, three new books, a review, updates from the Newman Numismatic Portal and more.

Other topics this week include colonial coins, Comitia Americana medals, U.S. Mint engraver Gilroy Roberts, the early history of the American Numismatic Society, auction offerings of S.S.
