Many thanks to Garrett Ziss and our webmaster Bruce Perdue for minding the store while I was away last week. The issue was published on our website Sunday night as normal, and turned out great. But wouldn't you know it, that was the week our email provider changed something that kept the email notification from going out to everyone. I made a call to their support desk from a mountaintop in Switzerland, and Bruce was able to figure out what happened and get the email out in short order. Thanks!

This week we open with a numismatic literature sale, four new books, tributes to a colonial coin legend, updates from the Newman Numismatic Portal, and more.

Other topics this week include the banknotes of Curacao, notes from readers, portraits, interviews, numismatic exhibits, auction results, the San Jose wreck, exonumia, and another theft from the British Museum.

To learn more about coins in the Early Roman Provinces, the numismatics of the state of Los Altos, the art history of German Notgeld, Richard August, Eric Schena, Tom Sebring, counterfeit Walking Liberty half dollars, the 50 pence "œoffside rule" coin, North Carolina money, and the 2024 American Medal of the Year, read on. Have a great week, everyone!
