WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM OCTOBER 15, 2023

New subscribers this week include: Charlie Baxter. Welcome aboard!

Are we getting too big for our britches? Several readers have reported difficulty receiving their emailed issues. AOL, Yahoo and other email services haven't always been delivering our emails. While I understand why these companies don't reveal the details of their spam policies (they don't want to tell spammers what to avoid), it's greatly frustrating for legit senders like us - they reject you but never tell you why. So we have to guess. I hate to brag, but are we too ... BIG?

This week we'll experiment by sending everyone TWO issues - one the normal E-Sylum, chock full with 33 articles, the other a minimal version with just these Wayne's Words and links to the issue online. Perhaps this smaller version will arrive. If it does and you hadn't been receiving these for a bit, please let me know. 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, two obituaries, updates from the Newman Numismatic Portal, new podcasts and more.

Other topics this week include telephone tokens, banknotes of Canada and Congo, Barber coinage, coin dies, edges and collars, the Pobjoy Mint, Ron Gillio, Don Everhart, auction previews, coin and paper money hoards, the Capture of Andre medal, architectural medals, and coin tossing.

To learn more about German emergency coins, Ken Rendell, Burton Hobson, Tim LaPointe, the Numismatic Proof Scale, Comitia Americana medals, the Muddy Hoard, new coins for King Charles III, numismatic small talk and the Herbstman Collection of American Finance, read on. Have a great week, everyone!
